Description: Hello fellow redditors, this listing is for the first r/place from 2017. For the 2022 r/place see my other listing "r/place" certainly represents a landmark in the development of massively collaborative art, but if there's one very practical advantage to this artwork it's that it will remain interesting and surprising longer than practically any other image you might hang on your wall. I say this with authority because I have been printing it since shortly after the beginning, and all these years later I'm still finding new things. Not to mention the number of references that originally went over my head but I've learned about in the interim! Another advantage is the extremely diverse culture represented. If there's one thing this very much isn't, it's low key accent piece; it's loud&noisy AF and people will be drawn to it like no other. For anyone who is revisiting this listing, I've simplified the choices to the most popular options. These are photo quality inkjet prints on your choice of paper. The paper attributes are as follows:48 lb matte: aka doubleweight (compared to normal office paper), high resolution/photo paper; has a base coating to maximize print quality.69 lb gloss: just about the heaviest paper for roll fed printers. Accepts the most ink for great colors, but gloss has some weaknesses: susceptible to swirl mark scratches, more susceptible to fingerprints, and suffers if the lighting isn't right as reflections can overwhelm the colors.Be aware that the "black" of the original is actually deep grey, and the greyness is much more apparent in print than on a monitor.These are on 24x24 inch paper, but the image itself is about 23.6 square; I wouldn't dare cut off even a fraction of a pixel, so the margin is a given. There are two options for the image:The community run r/TheFinalClean, with the noise/conflicts removed. Specifically, since there are two clean versions, it is the one with the little bit of Void (looking like black space tentacles, top left). The alternative expanse of blank orange looks quite wrong in comparison, IMO.The actual final r/place, complete with "vandalism," noise, and competing works. This is the really real final, not the version with the cursor photobomb that was accidentally shipped with the final clean. (lol yes, another cursor, in addition to the one that is supposed to be there). The images used for printing have been manually scaled to the precise resolution that matches the target printer, which ensures that the pixels are still sharp squares and there's no aliasing (purchase from someone else and chances are very high the pixels won't be square, especially noticeable in the green lattice since it will have a meta lattice, tho everything just looks off). They are being printed at maximum, photo quality DPI. The printers used are fine art studio grade machines, with expanded ink sets for the most color range, and pigment based for archival lifespan. Regarding the "best print" option, my standards really are obnoxiously high, and as a consequence I regularly end up with prints that just don't meet my expectations. But I also hate waste and know that practically everyone else in the world is unlikely to notice that there's anything amiss (it can even take me a bit to figure out what was wrong with a print I've set aside as not good enough). Thus I'm making available these B prints (factory second, irregular, what have you) at a significant discount. I can't promise you won't be able to figure out the error with a bright light and your nose on the page, but it won't be obvious, especially from normal viewing distance (anything obvious is trash, alas). Availability is naturally limited, so if you see & you want, you buy, buy now!TL;DR best print: no = minor defect + major discount. (fun fact: 1000^2 pixels @ 44" square is still finer resolution than an NES on your average mid 80's 19" TV; it would need to be a nearly 60" square print to reach equivalence! Alternatively a 36" print would be at parity with NES on an 11.5" screen).
