Hi there,

I am pleased to announce the release of my new work "A Thousand, a Billion,
a Trillion", which I believe to be the largest image ever created (at over
one terapixel). I am letting you folks know because I coded and rendered it
entirely using OCaml (well with a tiny bit of bash script controllers
thrown in).

The global work is segmented into 1,024 unique tiles, individually
watermarked, and linked to the RPC interface of my Hong Kong gallerist for
authenticity checks. If you want to own one of the works just add
"shitaoweekly" on the Chinese phone app WeChat and enter in "one trillion"
at the text interface. If you have any problems, email me. I relish any
opportunity to give back to the OCaml community, in the ways I am most able.

This work is gaining substantial attention and interest within the Chinese
art world (in Beijing, where I work), and already some level of
international interest.

If you are interested in details, my gallerist's press release here
describes the work and also mentions the importance of the OCaml system and
community to this work:
