The Starred Bitmap (How Soon is Now?)

[augmentedbitmaps]

A bitmap with volume

The original canvas was a 233px by 233px bitmap at an optimal zoom factor of 3.0. 

Using photo editing software, a volume symbol shape mask was layered on the original and the opacity of the background was reduced. A faint vertical line of blue was added to the far left edge of the digital substrate to lend a colour accent to the overall image.

Original height/width: 290 pixels

Original zoom factor: x 3

Augmentation of this bitmap was a two-step process undertaken in the PicsArt mobile app. Initially, an ivory filter effect was applied over the base canvas, lending the bitmap a fuller white hue. A draw tool was then selected to overlay a pair of turquoise lines on the image.

Original pixel dimensions and zoom factor for this bitmap are unknown.

Augmentation, done in the PicsArt app, consists of a translucent blue border inside a thin, opaque black frame on all four sides of the artefact. A text tool was employed to insert the word “Lakeside” (font uncertain) in the lower third of the canvas.

Bitmap generated June 2 as a Portable Network Graphic.

Original height/width: 273 pixels

Initial zoom factor (before added scaling): x 4

Augmentation of the base canvas took place inside the Drawing Desk mobile app. A sepia mask was brushed onto the bitmap. No further augmentation took place. The result is a minimal although heavily recoloured AB.

Bitmap generated June 2 (format: PNG).

Original height/width: 300 pixels

Zoom factor: x1

Augmentation was conducted in the Drawing Desk mobile app. A half-tone treatment was applied to the original canvas. Some dandelion decals give this bitmap a pop of springlike colour.

Taxo bitdata

Unique bitmap generated June 1st as a Portable Network Graphic.

Original height/width: 242 pixels

Original zoom: x3

Augmentation performed in the PicsArt mobile app. Distortion of the original image is detectable in the bottom sector of the map. A green ellipsis with reduced opacity is located in an upper area of the AB. A light filter effect was also applied.

Taxo bitdata

Bitmap generated Jun 1st in PNG format.

Initial height/width: 233 pixels

Initial zoom: x 3

The bitmap was augmented in the PicsArt mobile app, firstly with the use of a Film B+W filter overlaid on the image. A dispersion effect was applied in the bitmap’s upper left quadrant as well. A vertical line along the leftmost edge of the image rounds out the augmentation.

Taxonomic Data

Random bitmap generated at 11:02 pm on May 31 in PNG format.

Initial width: 200 pixels

Initial height: 200 pixels

Zoom factor: x4

The bitmap was augmented in the PicsArt mobile app with the overlay of an overexposed mask on the image. Additional zooming was also done to achieve desired appearance of the AB.
