This project is just for fun.

Over the holidays, I felt like being creative. After a few minutes of trying to draw I remember how terrible I was at it. So I decided to switch my tools to a camera and a computer.

I had the idea to taking a video, load it as a 3-dimensional array into Python and then slice it parallel to the time dimension. If you slice it orthogonal to the timing direction, you’d just get a frame of the video, so that’s not very interesting. If you slice it parallel to the direction of time, I imagine one could create some cool art.

Given that this is already some kind of metaphor for passing time I decided to take a video of a rotating hourglass. The video can be seen above.
