Title: On Compression
Year: 2007
Medium: Math essay
Elevator pitch: Essay describing the mathematics behind Jpegs.
ps: A pdf explanation of why Jpegs look the way they do. This kinda document is pretty common in computer science departments although this one is kinda more for “noobs” as I show the math in greater detail. Possibly of note is it being republished as a one page Jpg of itself on the Frieze website. This was first published in my book (made by the wonderful Dexter Sinister) a couple thousand short films by glenn gould.
