An ordered collection of every black-and-white pixel image: browse and name the first of ∞
images, walked in spiral order from 1×1 to 32×32.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and separated the light from the darkness.... ....and a squiggly sort of molecule (or microbe) sensed the light, and moved away from darkness, creating food and sight in the same stroke (a quantum collapse, the first observation / observer).... This is a description of the "first image" - is it black or white, dark or light? It is a distinction - the first such "visual" event. This site contains the first possible images, from 1x1 (dark/light, black/white) to 32x32 (patterns/predators/perceptions). You could be among the 1st CONSCIOUS observers to NAME these first images (or 2nd, 3rd ....). If you want to see a subset of "all possible" images with color, try uartsifartsi.com. A finite grid of black and white pixels has only finitely many possible states. UARTSIFARTSI walks through the first 179769.....095382 (309 digits) images in a repeatable, canonical spiral order: 1×1 → 2×1 → 2×2 → 3×2 → 3×3 → 4×3 → … → 32×32. Each size includes every black-and-white combination before the grid grows by one row or column. Only these square and near-square sizes belong to this order; older image links remain unchanged.

Browse. When an image strikes you as nameworthy, give it a name. In fact name as many as you can find. The name stays attached to the image even as more people give names to more and more images. Naming is always free. Anytime you feel moved you get a chance (not required nor tracked by uartsifartsi.org) to donate to UNICEF on UNICEF's website.

  1. step 1
    Easy image pickings

    Start with the ones built from structure instead of randomish. As you get comfortable, try making your own (you know it is out there) or browsing in order.

  2. step 2
    Name it forever

    Whatever you see in it — naming is free and takes one line of typing. You may be the first person ever to name that image, and every name entered is forever history.

  3. step 3
    Share best finds

    Send the link to a friend. The image and its names live forever at that address, and a share button does the copying for you.

Free to name, optional to give

Naming an image never costs anything. When a name lands, you're invited — never required, and never tracked by us — to donate to UNICEF on UNICEF's own website.
