Image Funk

Have you ever wanted to algorithmically throw pixels from one image onto a blank canvas repeatedly until you had a totally abstract work of art?

And also -- have you ever wanted to have the ability to smear those pixels around before, during, or after the process(ing)?

Well, now you can. With Image Funk™!

Image Funk is a multi-module Processing sketch filled with these wonderful functions, along with detailed information about how (and why you'd want) to use them to create beautiful, abstract, glitchy art.

All you need is a copy of Processing (it's free!), the easily-downloadable Python mode, and this heavily-armed sketch in order to get started!

Also, 5 free images are included to get you started; 4 images to mix, match, smear and manipulate, and a fifth output image from one of my own experiments. You can even import your own images with a few simple steps to bring all of your wildest dreams to life!

Everything is documented in great detail, as well as example code galore, explanations of modules (for those curious) and the sketch itself even runs out of the box so you can see what it's capable of right away. Change a few digits and you'll have an entirely new creation!
