Clouds, The Collaborative Photo Mosiac

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-art-or-something dept.

jaric writes "Over at peffis.com users post their cell phone photos to a shared photo blog. The creator of the open source site now has invented what he calls Clouds. It is a combination of all the posted photos into one cloud, or mosaic. The result is quite fascinating. You can see the current cloud."

    This site looks like a meltdown waiting to happen...

    Current cloud temporary mirror. Be aware that this won't update hourly as the site one does...

    /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/webcollage - comes with xscreensaver. Written in perl, easy enough to give it new methids to find photos.

    The point is that the cloud image isn't assembled by a person acting senselessly in Photoshop, but by an automated program that is most definitely acting senselessly each hour.

    Cool, and it takes a bit of graphics processing to make it happen... but still kinda pointless.
