A massive, 25 lb. portrait of Albert Einsten made from 2200 dice could be yours, thanks to redditor and programmer Joshie196. "A year or two ago, I wanted to make a program that converted any images into dice. I went ahead and made a neat program, but left it at that," he says in a Reddit thread. "About 2 months ago…I decided I wanted to actually try and make one of the mosaics that it produced. I ordered some dice from China and happily waited, and the rest you can see."

The Einstein quote that inspired this project, "As I have said so many times, God doesn't play dice with the world," will be inscribed on the final project, which Joshie196 says he may be interested in turning into a real business, if people are interested in buying them. While he preferred not to release his program to the web, Joshie196 recommends Mosaicify for people who want to make similar artworks.Check out his process in the images below.
