Detail of the top-left: receipts showing a message about brighter days, an ASCII map of Australia, a drawing of a girl with a mug, and a Bobby Tables SQL-injection joke.
Top left. The one about brighter days came from someone who signed off only as "someone on the internet".
Detail of the lower right, showing dithered pixel-art receipts including a rabbit, a footballer and several ASCII drawings.
Lower right. Braille art gets decoded back into a bitmap and printed as a picture, which is why these are dots and not characters.
The frame held up at an angle in a living room, with a second smaller framed collage visible behind it.
For scale.
