This reminds me of the light project at the CN Tower. The tower has lights running up the sides, and a guy with a laptop programs colour sequences on it. Because of the motion, it becomes obvious these can include animations, so occasionally he actually generated photo-realisitic "slices". Someone came along and did something very similar to your project in order to expose the images in their entirety, which comes across almost identical to what you've done (minus that organic ribbon appeal you went for). In his case, the standard "moving colours" come out looking like simple flags, and of course the images look like whatever they are.
I think this artist was inspired by the workings of a photocopier, which the second person who wrote the software to decode and expose it clearly picked up on.
I'll update this later if I get to my desktop and can post a link to that project.
- StavrosK 7y agoPlease do, I'd be very interested in seeing it and I don't think I understand exactly without some visuals.

- StavrosK 7y agoThat's fantastic, I was wondering whether it was actually images or just randomly blinking LEDs that this effect read too much into until the RCMP image came up. Amazing.
- ksaj 7y agoI used to live on Queen's Quay and saw it pretty much every night. At first it was only the solid colours blinking and racing up and down the tower, but one day it was really obvious that there was a picture involved - it looked like the edge of the screen of a worn out VHS recording. A while later, this video was made, so finally my curiosity was satisfied.
- ksaj 7y agoThanks. I just got back to my desktop and am delighted someone posted the link for me. Pretty cool video, imo.
