Kim Asendorf’s “Pixel Sorting” Code is now Open-Source
Highly creative computer artist Kim Asendorf put together a collection of images called “Mountain Tour”, one of the first noticeable examples employing a pixel sorting technique. Today, he has released the Processing code for anyone to use or build something new with. Already, there is a javascript version posted on Github.
Above are a few output examples I got with it as it is - you will need to download Processing and have some familiarity with code in the sense of knowing what goes where, but if you are inclined, it’s worth the time for creative experimentation.
