The basic Idea is to abuse the cluster SOP to cluster colors. Usually the cluster SOP is meant to perform K-Means Clustering on position vectors. Or: to find groups of points and cluster them. However a color also is a vector. So the cluster SOP can easily be used to also find groups of colors and cluster them. Really handy if you want to reduce the color palette of an image down to its most prominent colors.

MORITZ SCHWIND

Still thinks “Space: 1999” is the coolest thing that ever happened on german TV. Be it pixels, hardware, code or cameras – if it’s interesting, Moritz is gonna take it apart. And sometimes even reassemble it. In his spare time he likes to dabble with code and create generative artwork. He claims his early exposure to QBasic is no help at all when working in Houdini, Cinema 4D, Processing or Arduino. But it might have been what started his fascination for the boundaries of code and art. When not wreaking havoc to any intriguing devices around him, he works as a freelance Art Director / Technical Director.
