Does this mosaic technique have a name? I want to learn how to create images like this:

Marquee of InDesign CS6:


And random image of a girl I found on the web:



It combines many almost random but thematically or stylistically similar images, newspaper clippings, letters and snippets of text, etc to create one rough, chaotic, energetic image.

I'd call it a bricolage.


In the visual arts bricolage is the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work created by such a process. The term is borrowed from the French word bricolage.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricolage
Other names it may be known by:


Merz
Polystylism
Collage
Assemblage

Mosaic or collage are as good a term as any. You could also try deconstructivist.

Try a search and see what you find.
