Babel Image Archives

Instead of letters and punctuation marks, the Image Archives permute the 4096 colors. It contains every image that ever has been or could be created with this color palette in these dimensions, including portraits of every person who ever lived at every moment in their life, digitized versions of every work of art ever created, even those lost to history, as well as every work of art which ever could be created, and photographs of your own birth, wedding, and funeral, along with every possible crossover between (and every alternate version of) any and every fictional work in history. It contains 4096^266,240 (or 10^961,755) unique images.

As with the text library, the promise of discovering the hidden truth and beauty of the past and future can be enticing, though probability dictates that we may only ever find random noise. Remember that as with the library's cryptography, these fields of colorful static may be ciphers for any possible vision, like an abstract painting which takes its impetus from the everyday, and awaits the magic eye which can reveal - or create - its secrets.
