Why do people find this interesting? Is there more to it than the insight that one can define a function that maps image-dimensions to an image?

Make the Zeus image tall and skinny. Then make it short and wide. Then make it square.

So this has over 1000 upvotes because it's good art, not because it's an interesting algorithm?

are we referring to "the three graces"? at what point along the spectrum of "abstract" does a boob become SFW? it's a rectangle with a rectangle inside of it, for fucks sake.
Where I live, if it can be recognized as anything similar to something NSFW, then it is NSFW. Yes, the culture is extra prudish and I wish it wasn't, but I don't have any control over it.
Saying "this should be tagged NSFW" is taking personal control over it and directly contributing to that prudish culture.

#97Hello this is Marcus, the guy who did the resolution independent illustrations. I just uploaded the current version of the site, so it will no longer freeze, when the image gets to small. I also updated the Tantalos image. I am currently a bit blown away by the reaction to this. I finished this over a year ago but didn’t manage to make it public till now. I presented this at a meetup in Berlin yesterday and someone a…
I've been doing similar things with shaders. I'm fiddling with rewriting one of these in GLSL.

Personally, I'm impressed by how the image dimensions were mapped to the image, not the fact that it can be done at all. There are plenty of boring and simple ways to map dimensions to an image. This was clever and well-implemented, imo. :)

I think it's because it invokes the "Oh, that's so cool" feeling in people. It's a good feeling, even if it isn't due to learning about an interesting algorithm. Hackers and Painters I guess.
