2500 Random Walkers Moving on the Screen
Each Walter is a random walker, a stochastic
process that moves probabilistically following the pixel probability distribution of a photograph of
my eye.
At first glance, you might see a swirling sea of tiny dots, each one a miniature explorer on its own
unique journey. These 2500 digital "walkers" move across the screen, leaving trails of color in
their wake. As they wander, they slowly reveal a hidden image - the photograph of my eye.
By moving the cursor over the canvas, you can delete the random walkers, and they are spawned in new
positions on the image.
At the top, we have three different random walkers: red, green, and blue. They exhibit constructive
interference, so when they overlap, they recreate the original color of the image, similar to how
colors work on a screen.
At the bottom, we have two different random walkers: blue and green. Each of them captures different
scales in the image. In this case, they recreate the brightness and darkness of the image.
