Selena Deger: Difference between revisions

After trying many methods to alter the photos, such as style transfer or mapping them in a different concept like Lissajous figures, randomized geometric shapes etc. it was more appealing and fruitful to process them via the colors they already carry.

A bubble sorting algorithm and p5.js library features are used to change the images with the aim of not showing the actual image but the "encrypted" version. First, the image's pixel values are retrieved and with the bubble sorting, pixels are sorted according to their hue values and relocated until they are neighbors with another with the same hue value. Additionally, a random color function is assigned to the photos to have slightly different results for each time program runs. The final look of the images shows flowing pixel paths and different color gradings.

The final visuals generated by the algorithm, are put into a website format to exhibit them. The first content the user see when the page shows, is the on-site processed images works as covers and changes when the page is refreshed.  

Grid format is chosen where the collection is shown, the reason behind that is the resemblance with the contemporary social media formatting of visual media as well as not focusing only to one image but seeing all of them as a whole.  

Since on-site calculation of the image requires so much computational power and it decreases the responsiveness of the website. therefore, for exhibition purposes, a lite version again with a static video is placed in the place of the cover image and shows the processes from the end to the beginning.
