So is this some kind of specialized constraint solver? I'm looking at the JS source for the various art and it seems to be defining relationships alongside the shapes and styles.

This is really cool! If you look at the source, it appears that the images themselves are defined as JS code, almost like a vector image. For example, Zeus: http://essenmitsosse.de/pixel/scripts/zeus.px The author then has a renderer to turn these into pixel data. It seems to render them down to an actual pixel image on the fly.

Besides moving your mouse around, zooming in and out also works beautifully (might put a bit of a strain on your system though). Given the sheer amount of work for one piece, with The Three Graeae appearing to be around 1000 lines of code, I'm also quite amazed he managed to produce seven. Brilliant, and Art indeed.

Zooming just decreases the resolution for me. I'm on Windows+Chrome. What does it do for you?

This is incredible stuff. Zeus in particular is amazing. It all seems to be done with weighted objects and a clever way of rendering them, but it's indistinguishable from magic from where I'm sitting.

Changing the aspect ratio from portrait to landscape for many of them also results in really interesting interpretations of the same piece.

Should've been tagged

I'm not sure about others, but I also had a NSFW picture load up. Are the pictures random, some of which are NSFW? (Maybe in some places it is different, but even classical art can be considered NSFW in parts of the US.)

Zooming in decreases the resolution and zooming out increases the resolution for me on Windows 8.1 + up to date Chrome.
