1. Operation data
Internal number: OB_027
Operational regime: Algorithmic Transformation
Source image: Digital Photography
Operational description:
Each pixel shifts along a trajectory determined by its chromatic information: the RGB proportion defines the direction, the brightness determines the distance, and the saturation modifies the curvature. The accumulation of these trajectories produces a progressive drift of the original image.
2. Tools
Tools / medium:
- Python
- NumPy
- Pillow
3. Variables
Controlled variables:
- Maximum displacement distance
- Number of trajectory steps
- Intensity of curvature and preservation of the original image
Uncontrolled / accidental variables:
- Overlap and concentration of pixels during displacement
- Empty or sparse areas produced by pixels leaving their original positions
- Emerging shapes, stains, and transitions determined by the particular chromatic distribution of the source image

6. Crisis and formal-perceptual reading
Where the crisis occurs and the operation affects the visual grammar of the image: shape, outline, color, figure/ground relationship, legibility, recognition, and support:
Its outlines begin to dissolve and blend into the background. Color remains as a trace of the figure, although it no longer corresponds to a defined form. The figure/ground separation becomes ambiguous, and the image oscillates between a recognizable landscape and dragged chromatic masses. The digital support begins to become perceptible through the drift and accumulation of pixels.
7. Final evaluation and artistic reference
Operation notes / what I learned:
This operation also feels organic and pictorial, and it can be handled quite a bit. It is like wiping a cloth across the image.
