Shanghai Traces

Photographs of street vendor wares are loaded into Jitter as jxf files and moved from the top to the bottom of the screen, interpolating to a new rotation on each frame as they "fall." For each pass, a random hue and size are chosen, according to a table of possible values. A simple feedback mechanism (using the max operator) ensures that the screen is slowly fading to white, while the objects are constantly writing darker values.

The audio uses a similar process, a simple delay (with varying feedback) on small chunks of recorded interviews with street vendors.
