This charming portrait, composed of two musical notes, is a tribute to the very first MP3 file in history

“Nice to See You,” a portrait made of musical notes, is an analog reminder of the digitization of our world. Inspired by Suzan Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” and the birth of the MP3, the work combines sight and sound. Look & Click—with a built-in MP3 player, you can play the very first MP3 file in our world while losing yourself in the keys as you gaze at the image. As we look at the image, the image looks back at us, and we feel addressed—“nice to see you.”
