The Cuban Pixelfier is an art project that... pixelates cubans!

This project is a submission for the cryptocubansocialclub art contest.

The CryptoCubans kicked-off an art contest for the launch of their NFT project but the problem is that I am not an artist, but I can code. Additionally, the NFT world seems to like pixelated PFPs. So, I thought, what if real-life CryptoCubans could become pixelated cubans? This led me to this project. The initial idea and scope was basically to convert the image into a pixelated representation by an army of "crawlers", that will traverse the image and slowly pixelate it, but challenges and ideas led to the code you see today.

There are no randomisations in this code, so given the same inputs and the same seed phrase, you will always receive the same output image. Originally I designed it so the app would be totally driven by the seed, but I tought it would be more fun to let you all choose the inputs and experiment.

This is my first attempt at "generative art" (does this even count?), I hope you enjoy it ✌️
