got any facts about jpeg artifacts?
The earliest JPEG artifact dates to 900 A.D., about when the Joint Photographic Experts Group (for which the image type is named) was founded. This was of course several decades before computers, back when image compression was accomplished by mashing a clay representation down to a smaller size. The artifact itself is a small (4″) statuette resembling the Venus of Willendorf.
Most notably, the first JPEG is thought to have been sculpted by the Picts.

This curious slab comes from around 4150 B.C.E., and belonged to Kishar Zigan VII, who was at the time of its writing believed to have been living with his parents, Kishar Zigan VI and Gilnind Hashur-Zigan.
Addressed to Zigan VII, the translation reads:
“Greetings, this is a tablet from Bauninsheg Shimsusa III writing in regards to your chariot’s extended warranty. The warranty is up for renewal. I’d like to congratulate you on your thousand shekel instant rebate and free maintenance and horse change package for being a loyal customer. Write me back at 14 Shenki-Nuesh street, Dilbat, Sumer, for details. May Enlil bless your travels.”
A strange and primordial culture indeed.
