Mystery Present - AIBU to ask, is this art??

[waterjungle]

I have a 6 month old and today he got his first Xmas present, sent through the post and addressed to him. Problem is we cant work out what it is, or who sent it. To clarify DH family are artists and we always have a painting or two from them for Xmas. There art can be of the rather (ahem) "abstract" style. To me though, this looks like someone printed a computer glitch. There is no message with it, no company name we can track back to. So, how do we enquire to family firstly if they sent it and secondly is it meant to look like this? AIBU to ask if it it art or computer error - what do you think?

It looks like a map...or rather a shot off Google Earth! Is it possibly where he was born or where you live?

And can we have a close up of one spot please?

Hmm... Babies like high contrast art apparently.

Very dull art imo.

Is it cross stitched or painted? Struggling to tell

Do you think someone has sent off a photo to a company, and the photo has glitched itself and the company have literally printed the glitched photo onto the canvas?
The sender may have no idea

I like a lot of different types of art but that one literally hurts my eyes it looks like how a migraine feels

Def looks like a computer glitch...now that may be the intention

Oh no. You are going to have to hang it up in case it is from a really close relative and they enquire about it.

Would be very funny if you did and then said relatives asked why you would hang a computer glitch

It's not one of those pictures where you see a 3D image of you stare at it for a bit until you go cross eyed-- is it?

They were all the rage a few years ago.

I'm going with computer/printer error. Surely?!

Magic eye?

I would enquire. And if you can ask what it is as I think thats a fair question. If they sound indignant about that you can ask how it is supposed to be hung on the wall - that edge to edge black bar on top, bottom, left or right.

I suspect that it is an error in the file though being sent to a printer and thats why there is no note or return address.

It's the matrix. Your child must be the one!

Is your child called Neo?

No idea what it is, I just can 't get over the fact someone would think it would be a good present for a 6 month old baby?

It is shit! Poor child

It looks like when the TV wasn't tuned in properly.

Is it meant to be some sort of arty mat for him to play on?

Maybe the company were cleaning the printer ink heads and this came out?

What does your DH think?

That is bizarre

Suspect the Daily Fail's gonna love this one ...

load of barcodes written in colourful hex?

I like it.
