flickr image blending

9 June 2006

flickrblending.jpg
several remarkable examples of blending tens of Flickr images which share the same tags (e.g. 'happy' versus 'sad', 'winter' versus 'summer', 'eye', 'circle', etc.). the result is then saved as a new image. the original photos are scaled to match the size of the average image. color levels are adjusted.
similarly, favcol adapts its background color of its web page as flickr's favorite color.

hey, thanks for posting this. i submitted the url to you through your "suggestion box" a while back, and was wondering when it might appear . . . i was really blown away when i first saw these . . . perhaps some of the most "sensitive"-looking computer-generated art that i've ever seen . . .

btw, your site is great . . i'm here almost every day! thanks!

cheers
