Ballad of You

People in red letters, the background in black-and-white depth.

Like the ASCII cover of the third album Ballad of You, it turns the people on screen into red letters on white paper. Twenty times a second, half of the cells draw a new letter, so the text never stops moving.

The background is shaded by depth, with closer things rising whiter. iPhones with LiDAR or TrueDepth use that sensor’s depth; otherwise on-device AI estimates it.

Symbol

Symbol-shaped bokeh on sparkling lights.

It finds small lights with dark surroundings, like stage lights or phone lights, and hangs a symbol-shaped bokeh on each in that light’s own color.

Bright light blooms softly, and moving lights leave trails like a long exposure of cars at night.

Kaleidoscope

One scene in many layers, as if through a crystal held to the lens.

Picture a round crystal, cut into diamond facets, held right in front of the lens. A few large facets each shift the scene their own way, and their blurred edges overlap translucently.

The crystal drifts slowly as if held in your hand, and white light streaks along its grain.

Move your mouse or finger over the picture to move the crystal.
