This sketch was inspired by that, and also by a sequence in the film Zidane: a 21st Century Portrait, which Stu and I went to see in 2006. It draws an image using only RGB elements and introduces interference for that retro look. Look closely and reproduce your childhood eye trauma!

Destructions:

This is the first in an infrequent series of wee widgets I’ve written with Processing.

First, a particle system with fade, brightness and scaling on the Z axis. Hit ‘Continue reading’ to see the magic.

Remember you will have to wait for Java to load – this can take a few seconds.


You can draw more with the mouse, try it.
