generative slit scan image

These images were created using a digital slitscan process. I wrote a program that generates several groups of 3d primitives. The separate groups of primitives are rotated in slightly different directions slowly while every frame of rotation a column of pixels is sampled from the middle of the image and used to make a picture.

The resulting images are an explosion of twisted volumetric shapes.

This process is based on traditional slit scan techniques (see Golan Levin’s informal catalog of Slitcan Videohttp://www.flong.com/texts/lists/slit_scan/) where one side of the image is in a different time than the other.

Here is a 38k low resolution shockwave demo you can play with!

Above is a new set if images I rendered out much bigger than the ones below. The full set is on Flickr as well. Click to enlarge and load the images on Flickr.
