Miguel Chevalier's Bust of Janus

French artist Miguel Chevalier has used 3D printing technology to create a voxelized bust of Janus. It is on display in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Internet says that a voxel is a 3D pixel, so to voxelize means to enlarge in such a way as to make the voxels visible. 

A quote from the article says that Chevalier seeks to demonstrate with the piece that 3D printing technology--as a means of creating art--exists in unbroken succession with prior eras of art going back to the ancient world.
