Today’s Science Tomorrow’s Art

Two programs were created in OpenGL/C++ to generate the images, along with a custom animatable font. The first handled the streaming text background. It increases the rate at which letters are typed, motion-blurring fast images. The second program generates the running man. Random letters are drawn (according to specified animation parameters), and their color intensity is determined by the pixels covered in the Muybridge images. A sequence of images is read in, and animation parameters are applied to the animatable font.
