Spring is experienced and recorded differently in different time and space.
What is the 'image of Spring'?
This project is an attempt to describe images of four seasons with a million photos each.
A million Flickr photos tagged ‘spring’ are collected, and each photo is turned into one pixel with an average color. The one million pixels from one million photos compose an image of Spring. The images of the rest of the seasons are created the same way.
