A set of low resolution digital photographs of clouds are randomly and continously printed on an ordinary point of sale receipt printer. The paper piles up and overflows.

Each image is scaled, converted to 4 bit grayscale, and translated into a matrix of ASCII characters whose ink density roughly corresponds to each pixel’s brightness.
