The Top Grossing Film of All Time, 1 x 1

<p>Jason Salavon designs custom software that turns data into art. For this image, he averaged each frame of the 1997 box-office smash <em>Titanic</em> to a single color and laid the entire film out, frame by frame, moving left to right and top to bottom. The storyline becomes an abstract infographic: from the bright blue of daylit scenes early in the film, to the white of the iceberg, to long stretches of darkness after the ocean liner sinks. Salavon’s work allows the viewer to take in this dramatic arc of pure color all at once.</p>
