1. Operation Data
Internal number: OB_025
Operational regime: Lista Combinaciones
Source image: Digital Photography
Operational description:
The script groups neighboring pixels with similar RGB values and increases their saturation according to the size and presence of each group, progressively pushing the image toward a crisis of legibility.
2. Tools
Tools / medium:
- Python
- NumPy
- Pillow / OpenCV
3. Variables
Controlled variables:
- Quantity of RGB divisions or bins.
- Minimum size of pixel groups.
- Saturation intensity and degree of unification among similar colors.
Uncontrolled / accidental variables:
The initial distribution of colors and the proximity between pixels in the source image, which determines which groups are formed and where the areas of highest saturation appear.

6. Crisis and Formal-Perceptual Reading
Where the crisis occurs and the operation affects the visual grammar of the image: shape, contour, color, figure/ground relationship, legibility, recognition, and support:
Saturation begins to dominate over the original information: contours weaken, certain figure and ground areas become confused, and the landscape remains at an intermediate point between recognition and abstraction. Color is the main element causing the loss of legibility, while the digital support remains unchanged.
7. Final Evaluation and Artistic Reference
Operation notes / what I learned:
This operation produces a pictorial result and does not feel like a fully digital operation.
A script can be built following a logic and it can be articulated to be more complex and have a more complex logic as well.
