2. Brief History
• Raster graphics have origins in television technology
• They had some use in the 1970s and 1980s but it was
not until the graphic capabilities of personal computers
were improved in the 1990’s that raster graphics
became widely used.
• Vector drawing/graphics actually preceded raster
because vector was more economically feasible. When
technology improved the more flexible raster graphics
became and thus more widely used.
3. Raster
• Images or Graphics that’re
made up of a rectangular grid
of pixels or points of color.
• Resolution dependent and
cannot scale up to random
proportions without losing
quality
• However, raster images work
well with photographs or
graphics that’re supposed to
be photorealistic.
Vector
• Vector graphics can easily
go between scales without
losing quality.
• Vector works well with
typesetting and graphic
design

It is the narrative of the impeccable Cube that creates the existence of being in a sci-fi world where machinated apparatus creates the first geometric form. Being one of the platonic solids, it insists on a reversal of functions where science, hard lined symmetry and mathematical exactitude indicates the birth of consciousness; consider it a gnostic technological revelation, even.
