Liquid Feedback explores the organic patterns that emerge from digital image processing techniques, specifically pixel difference and displacement algorithms. The result is reminiscent of cellular structures or crystalline growth patterns viewed under a microscope, with its soft teal background and coral-colored nucleation points.

The visualization creates a sense of constant, gentle motion through the interaction between displaced pixels and their differences, producing effects similar to the way watercolors bloom and spread on wet paper. The color palette evokes both biological and mineral imagery - the teals suggesting algae or copper patina, while the coral accents could be biological growth or mineral inclusions.

Technical Implementation

The piece employs several key digital processing techniques:

• Pixel displacement mapping for fluid motion
• Frame difference calculations for pattern emergence
• Feedback loops for pattern persistence and evolution
• Gaussian blur for soft transitions between regions

The movement is generated through a continuous feedback system where each frame's output becomes part of the input for the next frame, creating ever-evolving patterns that never exactly repeat. The process maintains a delicate balance between pattern formation and dissolution.
