- Project to recreate Hokusai's '36 Views of Mount Fuji' as 1-bit pixel art using old Macintosh computers and software.
- Motivation driven by nostalgia, love for the 'flow state' in creative work, and appreciation for early Mac aesthetics.
- Uses authentic hardware (Quadra 700, PowerBook 100) and software (Aldus SuperPaint 3.0) for authenticity at 512x342 pixel resolution.
- First shared piece is 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa', licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0.
- Includes bonus downloadable desktop patterns for 640x480 Macintosh screens and plans to post more from the project.
