While interesting, it doesnt feel like it belongs here. Maybe it is the volume these days but more and more the articles are turning into reddit posts.

This is Hacker News. I can't think of a better way of someone "hacking" something (i.e. using cracked glass in a novel way) to create something new, unexpected, and incredible.
I think this is probably the best idiomatic example of the type of story that I think belongs on HN that I've seen in quite some time.
As an artist, this isn't incredible. Arranging lights/darks to copy a photo is high-school tier. Money for food + shelter + materials and I could do this in a month, as with anyone who can copy a black and white photo.
I agree. This artist, while technically interesting, has nothing to do with AI, and so has no place on the front page.

HN waiting for the artist to announce on X that he's remaking all his works in rust.
Now THAT would be cool! Paint a oxidising agent on a metal sheet and wait. As the sheet continues to rust the piece evolves over it's lifetime.
I wonder how much variation you could get by using several oxidising agents of different strength?
Interesting project!
I think it's a welcome breath of fresh air considering how much AI slop is on HN lately
