Ever wanted to see what your body looks like on a molecular level? How each atom interacts and interlocks with others, before breaking off and tumbling to the ground? Or what your portrait would look like if painted by Vincent Van Gogh? Well, now you can – sort of. Two works of electronic art powered by NVIDIA’s CUDA technology now on display at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery as part of the Collision19:COmpress/DECompress new media arts show will help you see yourself in new ways.
 
No gameplay physics? Useless. :mad:

j/k It's an interesting looking demo.
 
CUDA?

You mean the Plymouth type?

Those will really take you places. :p
 
while im sure the tech behind this is quite advanced. and leagues beyond what im about to reference.

i could not help but get a strong feeling of dejavu as this reminds of the early PlayStation 1 demo disc.

this is mostly due to use of those flat squares as the medium .

i guess you could argue it needed a better vision because as it stands it looks lil weak.
 
To be honest, it looks like shit.

Looks like one of those effects that pop videos were using in the '80s.
 
BTW, notice how they cheat to give the impression of more particles? Yep, just a nasty JPEG of some coloured particles to give the illusion of more than about 2000 particles on screen, then the "video" of weirdos dancing is just added under the still background image.

Really not very technically impressive.

since when is "each atom" a few cubic inches?
