I'd have found this much more interesting if the animations were rendered in the browser - I would have loved to poke around the code that makes them work.<p>They're neat looking, but being served videos and not code leaves an itch unscratched.
Some of these animations transported me back 20-25 years ago to the days when I would have Winamp cranking with its visualization plugins. Fun times.<p>Cool animations here.
I was looking at the source to see if it was randomly generated or randomly selected from pre-generated animations (it is the latter) and saw this odd anyalytics tag:<p><pre><code> Script blocked by Cloudflare, check the site yourself.
</code></pre>
And I have a few questions.<p>1. It requests the script from Google unconditionally.<p>2. `doNotTrack` is just hardcoded to false. My browser sends the header, so it isn't server-inserted (at least not in a way that works).<p>So what is it trying to do?
Of course this has all kinds of different animations, but it reminds me of Electric Sheep, a really cool fractal flame screensaver. You install it locally and can upvote/downvote different "sheep" to your liking<p>[1] <a href="https://electricsheep.org/" rel="nofollow">https://electricsheep.org/</a>
Since no one else asked... how is this done? Are there any specialized programs for this sort of graphical/visual programming? Or is this just a bunch of Python scripts using 3D/math/plot libs?
You can see a list of them, in chronological order, from the main site — click 'latest animations'[1]<p>[1] <a href="https://bleuje.com/animationsite/2023_1/" rel="nofollow">https://bleuje.com/animationsite/2023_1/</a>
If you right click on desktop and choose your browser's version of "show controls" it gives a nice sense of the loop points ... some of them are insanely short!
Looking at this, I could see it being in some kind of movie as this thing that is hypnotizing the locale populace to do the bidding of some evil mastermind.<p>"Don't look at it, here, use these"<p>"Damn, we've arrived too late, he's too far gone"<p>"We'll have to resync the server's mainframe database to reroute the traffic so that it stops the flow of tcp's"<p>Edit: also the wormhole one needs the Dr Who theme music.
Weird, yesterday I tried to text this link to some relatives and it never showed up. We've tried a few variations and it seems every group message we send containing a bleuje . com link is blocked. I guess there's a filter somewhere...? (Android Messages using T-Mobile)
Reminds me of David Szakaly (davidope), who has a similar style in a lot of his loops. Can be searched for, but it seems like he's primarily active on Instagram, where the videos cannot be watched unless logged in.
Woaaw, amazing work.
At some point I struggled with the dilemma:
* clicking to discover a new animation
* spending all my life contempling the current one
