Strangely compelling. YELLOWTAIL is an interactive software system for the gestural creation and performance of real-time abstract animation. Yellowtail repeats a user's strokes end-over-end, enabling simultaneous specification of a line's shape and quality of movement. Each line repeats according to its own period, producing an ever-changing and responsive display of lively, worm-like textures.
If you like the Java version, you can download the full screen version with sound. posted by Wet Spot at 7:12 PM PST [trackback] (11 comments total)

Very cool. Download the fullscreen / sound version, it's strangely hypnotic, too.

Beautiful. My computer doesn't have the specs to handle the full program, but the web version is great. It almost seems alive.
