*nods* I was about to mention that if you had the resources for it, you could go a step forward and see how far you could take this process in regards to printing: effects that rise from uncalibrated monitor/printer work with mismatched color profiles and the wrong sort of paper, for example.
One of the things that has always niggled at the back of my mind about computer art is how very clean and sharp it can look, which sometimes dampens its impact in my mind. This piece is, as you say, a deliciously messy alternative to all of that. And I can only imagine the creative possibilities of controlling the compression level of different parts of an image!
Frankly, I'd love to see what would happen if you took this idea and ran away with it. :)
