As graphical fidelity approaches photorealism (which some say we’ve already reached, but I say [Uncanny Spacey](http://www.incgamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare.jpg?ref=killscreen.com)), there has been an aesthetic movement toward a less detail-oriented visual style that harkens back to the medium’s roots. We already [lovingly and exhaustively covered](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/poly-generational/?ref=killscreen.com) the history of low poly art earlier this year, but we might just need to add another chapter (or at least some exciting new liner notes) after considering Lowpoly Bot. [@Lowpolybot](https://twitter.com/Lowpolybot?ref=killscreen.com) is a tinkering of [Mario Klingemann](https://twitter.com/Quasimondo?ref=killscreen.com)’s that automatically converts any image tweeted to it into a mosaic of colorful geometric planes.

User submissions have wrangled wholly different looks from the bot: some kaleidoscopic, some glitchy, and some almost cubist. Between fractaled selfies and tessellated Smash Bros. characters there’s the oddball [Mondrian](https://twitter.com/Lowpolybot/status/531675667478609920?ref=killscreen.com).

Short fiction was established well before Twitter, so the bot seems to be the platform’s native art. What’s the bot’s defining feature? Regularity. They are thought-engines that do the heavy lifting of art-creation; through trial and error they reach serendipity, something like the [Infinite Monkey Theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite%5Fmonkey%5Ftheorem?ref=killscreen.com). That might seem hyperbolic for an artform that gained notoriety through [@horse\_ebooks](https://twitter.com/horse%5Febooks?ref=killscreen.com), but Twitter wouldn’t have it *literally* any other way.

Tweet an image [@Lowpolybot](https://twitter.com/Lowpolybot?ref=killscreen.com) yourself to receive inspiration and maybe a masterpiece.
