Check out this clever promotion for shoe brand Onitsuka Tiger called Made Of Japan. The mosaic shoe shown above is dynamically created using hundreds of tiny images from Japan-related web pages posted or updated in the past 24 hours. They’re then configured by color to recreate the classic Onitsuka shoe. As a user you can mouse over and view each little pixel for a preview of the site it came from or click to go to a random Japanese page.

Nice one, is there a software to create something like that?

There is a good tutorial on how to do mosiacs over on Engadget

I have used this tool for Mac http://homepage.mac.com/knarf/MacOSaiX/Download.html
It’s a little slow but it sucks the images out of a selected folder or google images.
