out of many, one
I've just started exploring Flickr; haven't uploaded any of my pictures to it yet, I'm sure I'll throw a link here once I do. But one of the neatest things I've come across so far is a set of images called "50 people see" by Brevity.
The idea is this person wrote a piece of software that randomly grabs 50 different images from 50 different people tagged with the same identifier, and then superimposes them onto one another. I'm sure it's much more complicated than just superimposition, because the results are abstract and, to my eye, very very beautiful.
For example, here's "50 people experience the seasons."
Each of these images is comprised of 50 separate photos that were tagged with a season word. From left to right, top to bottom, winter, spring, summer, autumn.
It somehow just makes sense to me. Other very good ones include sunset, flower, eye, and mountain.
