gifstudies: Up in the Woods

Everybody is talking about the color of the leaves. Damn, I am much more fascinated by the shape of the branches.

This work is part of my ongoing research on the perception of movement. A time lapse recording of a blooming rose was converted into 7bit World Level 1 Teletext format with a custom script by @Tius. This reduction tests and highlights the viewers ability to interpret visual stimuli. Only by bringing a certain effort one is able to "view" a blooming process, which is only hinted at with a very restricted color palette, and which, in the first place, would never occur like this in human reality. Eventually, we are able to create a meaningful concept of a natural blooming process based on completely artificial input.
