I don't know if this is Art, but I like looking at these collection like images.
This was was placed together in GIMP after taking 37 photos and opening them as layers and cropping them all at once.

Border was added by fineartamerica (I just saved it as image to share here).
To place them, I don't know if there's an easier way but I just use my placement plug-in where when you have images opened as layers in the same image, you just run plug-in specifying how many you want horizontally and vertically (if there's more it'll just extend it to the bottom). Like here I specified 6 x 6 but it extended into 7th row (because of 37 and not 36).
You can specify spacing between the layers placement as well.
here's the plug-in just in case anyone else wants to use it:

Here's another where the chips came from a collection of paintings by my Javascript code.
