   Het deed me hier erg aan denken. Ken je Kai’s power tools van software ontwerper Kai Krause?

   “Another favorite program is Kai’s Power Goo, with which a user can manipulate pictures in all sorts of fascinating ways—again, all because the information is stored in digital form that can be readily altered. With apologies to the artist, here is a relatively mild distortion of the Mona Lisa. Many wilder variations are available using the tools pictured here—grow/shrink, move, smear, smudge, nudge, mirror toggle, smooth, and ungoo which undoes any of these effects. Using another set of tools, the user can bulge, twirl, rotate, stretch, spike, or “static” the image, or unwind any of these effects. Don’t ask what these tools do; finding out is half the fun. Using the sliding switch at the left, the user can ease the effects in and out of the image. Or the user can record a succession of different images at the bottom, and the program creates a smooth “goovie” moving from one distortion to another. All of this is of course good clean fun, since Leonardo da Vinci is dead and the Mona Lisa is in the public domain. But what if the artist is alive and the original work is still copyrighted? Stay tuned for further developments.”

   Ja dit ken ik, echt vet retro Vroeger veel mee gespeeld.

   Ik ben nog aan het experimenteren, want mijn idee, het comprimeren van tijd in 1 beeld, komt in deze filmpjes niet helemaal naar boven; het blijft te veel een geinig videofilter.
