FractLOL

I maded you a FractLOL… and then I Silverlit it

This is no longer online because SilverLight is dead. There was a time you could click, drag, shift-click and use the mouse wheel to see that the image is made of over 10,000 LOLCats (there are 2,442 unique images here).

Then it was displayed as art (of a sort) at the LOL+Arts exhibit.

What?

The FractLOL consists of 2,442 unique kittehs and over 10,000 LOLCat images, all stitched together into the likeness of two famous, zoomable LOLs. This giant image took over forever to be generated, but thanks to Deep Zoom, you can pan and zoom around the super-high-res image in real time.

LOLCats seem to be funniest when consumed in bulk, and the FractLOL contributes a srsly cool way to explore thousands of examples of teh best creashuns of teh intarwebs.

If, for whatever reason, you can’t install Silverlight to see the FractLOL, it looks like this.

It is alternately a LOLQuilt, a ROFLMosaic, or a Deep LOL.

Origin Story

The kittehs are from icanhascheezburger.com (now deceased? I think?)

The photomosaic was generated using AndreaMosaic, a utility for making fun images like this one.

The output of AndreaMosaic got processed by Deep Zoom Composer and turned into a Silverlight app. (both now deceased.)

That’s enough LOLSpeak out of me for a very long time.

kthxbye
