MIST0625/BLIPPYPIXEL-POSTER

The screen is filled with the spiralling outlines of a slowly-shinking box, which starts out drawn large in shades of blue, then rotates slightly as it works its way into the greens, ever decreasing, and so on into yellows, oranges and reds as it dwindles hypnotically away into the centre.

Mistigram: many years ago, [profile] blippypixel was in possession of a colourful framed poster of some geometrical computing algorithm's output. It was hung proudly above his sofa, and one day for no apparent reason it fell off the wall and was destroyed in splintered wood and broken glass when it crashed into the floor. After 10 years of many false starts and fruitful distractions, this year he finally succeeded at rolling his own reproduction of the doomed poster using the #BBCMicro's Acorn Graphics Extension ROM -- the entire reason he got into making computer art to begin with. (That poster has a lot to answer for!) This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.
