Animated code art uses all of its colors once in every frame
You probably know that the display on your computer or phone can display millions of colors, if not more. However, have you wondered what it would look like if you tried to represent all of those colors in a single piece of art? Well, you’re looking at it. Qubit researcher and math guru Mike Swarbrick Jones has posted a code-driven animation that shows all the colors in a 24-bit RGB palette exactly once in every frame. The technique (which relies on mapping colors to voxels, or 3D pixels) produces a kind of “rainbow smoke” that, as you can see in the clip below, is rather hypnotic — it’s tempting to watch it on a loop and meditate. While this won’t produce a masterpiece, it’s proof that a good idea and the right calculations can lead to some truly eye-catching (not to mention mind-bending) visuals.
