This project was writen as an exploration what I could do with it in the Processing.org enviroment.
Since I upgraded to Yosemite a lot of old Processing sketches broke, rather than fixing the problem I wanted to do a complete rewrite (JAVA is dead?).
I wrote the Proccesing sketch while working for Bill Spinhoven as an emulation of his prior art (was a neat exercise).
Bill Spinhoven used the technique in some of his installations ('Alberts Ark' -> http://www.li-ma.nl/site/catalogue/doc/bill-spinhoven/alberts-ark-registratie-imago-kunstrai-1990/7833, 'Time Stretcher', e.a).
The technique used is called 'slit scanning'. A very nice explanation can be found -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhRo2WbWnKU .
