Technical note: Noise filtered with an FFT at various frequency bands, with sorting, quantization, channel-swapping and some masking/remixing and editing tricks. A heavily glitched image intervened to create the lighter and darker areas and some of the color, otherwise it had little effect.

To be gazed upon from a distance, until the Mage appears. Then run as fast as you can.

Process: I filtered out high frequencies ("details") using a statistical FFT at different scales on each color channel (RGB), then I attempted to recover the image by enhancing the remaining high frequency data (using a statistical FFT with different settings), but pushed the recuperation process beyond the limits of "good" imaging.

Glitch/fx on high dynamic range image.

Mostly a product of Fast Fourier Transforms on different channels in HSB and RGB color spaces, starting from an image of Luther Blisset.

Just followed a tutorial on YouTube.

A Fast Fourier Transform was used repeatedly on diagonally scanned blocks of pixels which had been glitched with channel-swapping in interrupted sorting operations. This is a cropped section of the image.

The Ship Hotel Weybridge. Very nice hotel :-)

For the past 400 years, the Ship Hotel, Weybridge has been serving the needs of the good townsfolk of Weybridge and the surrounding area. Conveniently situated at the beginning of the last staging post between Portsmouth and London the stage coaches stopped off at the Hostelry to change horses and to permit their passengers to partake in refreshments before continuing on the last eighteen miles to central London.

I wrote about how to exactly match Hasselblad Phocus processing software's Factory "Nature" preset/look in RawTherapee.

I pushed this to the dark side and let color noise dominate the scene... I dialed it down a bit so you can still see the dancers. Emphasizing the red and blue hues made this look like the wonderful Star Trek transporter effect. They used shiny spangle glitter suspended in water and stirred it with a spoon. They had very inventive effects FX people...

Neek! dreams of electric sheep

Spent a portion of the day installing electric sheep. Finally got it installed and this is the *sheep* running as a screensaver on my machine. Scott Draves is the man responsible. I stumbled on the project listening to an ITConversation, Mesh Forum 2006 Art of Networks, 2006-05-07. [1]

The sheep currently running is designed by Chris Ursitti. There is also good writeup on New.com about sheep, PCs dream of electric sheep [2]

FFT transform operating on the brightness levels of an image to boost certain bands, plus a little zigzag-scanned broken sorting.

Glitch and remix of a painting by Tiziano Vecellio (Titian). The digitized version had highly saturated color, making it an interesting candidate for color and detail degrading with an FFT.
