Input as paintings

The input device has been changed to two paintings, Rothko’s Seagram Mural and Turner’s snowstorm, two classic examples of the sublime in painting, from different movements. I’ve separated the images down to three colours, and recorded the RGB numerical values of each. These numbers chosen randomly form the input numbers for the filters which lead to abstraction. I was curious to see if when distorted, any essence of the original is retained. The finite detailing is interesting, as when projected on a large scale, the whole image moves.
