Every image is made of JS. It's multiple ways of rendering put into single files.

It's not an algorithm, it's just well-designed art. The design is entirely different for every image. But it's still very, very cool.

"Isn't all code well-designed art?" says my co-worker sitting next to me.

It seems to be tying shapes and positions to aspect ratios and tweening them, but that would be an insultingly simple explanation. It's really an amazing piece of work.

The Zeus one is definitely tied to aspect ratio..

Changing the aspect ratio from portrait to landscape for many of them also results in really interesting interpretations of the same piece.

"Zeus" in particular is pretty cool in this regard

What sorcery is this!?

JavaScript.

What a pernicious double-entendre.

So, necromancy.
