    Want to know another fact that connects Rubiks cubes and Sonic?

    They were relevant in the past.

    It's just a gimmick. It's no different than the typical and overabused pixelated art found everywhere. The only different here is the starting material.

    @somarix: What a comparison. Wow.
    The subject at hand here is just a recreation of already-established or even copy-righted images, especially when there are already hundreds of so-called artists doing the exact same thing with popular images. It's not the same as creating your own images of the popular characters. They are just replicating the images in a different medium.

    What's different with this artist is that he basically used the squares from rubix cube to recreate the so called art.
    It does not involve any creative process beside using rubik's cube squares in replacement for other color tiles. Hell, anyone here can do the same and how about.. instead of rubik's squares, use Trojan condom wrappers for the Sonic picture? There, you've changed the medium and you can call it "art".

    Would you call something an art if he simply recreates all the classical paintings with acrylic or pastel instead of oil? Hell, by your logic, even singstar players are artists.

    Stop acting like you know art, son. Ask your art teacher and see what he or she thinks.

    @ergonomicuser: hey fucktard, shut your ego trap. I've graduated from university too long ago to fit in your image.
    I firmly defend the right of anyone to express even a tiny drop of creativity. And in this case, the result made many people happy. So who cares if someone slapped a tag that may not be 100% correct?

    Why does Kotaku keep reposting stuff from Gizmodo? It gets tiresome when you see the same stuff on site A that you saw it on site B hours/days before.

    That's awesome. Makes me wish Rubik's Cubes had more than 6 colors. But then it wouldn't be a cube... but then you can get different sets of Rubik's cubes... but then that'd be lame and they'll be different sizes:( #screengrab
