normals vortex rearrangement

Black-and-white reconfiguration of a lolumad GIF.

The spheres, originally blue-purple, were cropped, stretched, and enlarged. The background was transparentized, then everything was converted to black and white in the Online Image Editor, which has a great (as in retro and unpredictable) algorithm for converting color gifs to pointillist monochromes.

The next phase will be to reverse the motion to eliminate the jump when the GIF resets.

Update: Here is the two-way version: [484 KB .gif]

I had in mind layering these but couldn't find an interesting way to do it. The top image is a severely reduced version of a Seacrestcheadle GIF and the bottom one is a rearrangement of something I posted earlier. The latter's name has changed several times but it's back to "Enantiomorphic Hippie Chamber." May be vertically misaligned on some RSS readers.
