Intersemiotic Transcreation of "El Libro de los Seres Imaginarios" by Mariana Salimena and João Queiroz

Explore the transcreation of Borges' fantastic bestiary into pixel art, critiquing through pixelated styles. Source to target properties are revealed, emphasizing the imaginative realm of symbolic zoology and the linkage between medieval man and nature. Discover the revival of pixel art reminiscent of vintage games, animated GIFs, and game conclusions. Mediative strategies from bestiaries to games result in interpretative effects through new materials, presenting a unique blend of artistic interpretation and intersemiotic translation.
