FlickrPoet Transforms Poems into Photographs
FlickrPoet is a neat little web-app built by Thomas Sturm that turns text into photographs using Flickr’s API. Though the concept is extremely simple and only somewhat novel, the results can be quite beautiful.
Feed it some poetry, song lyrics, or even random text, and watch the photographs begin to fade into existence. Here’s a screenshot made with the help of the quick brown fox (not a poem, I know).
The only change I would suggest to Sturm would be to provide permanent links to result pages so people can share their “FlickrPoems” with one another.
If you find any text that returns interesting results, please share it with us in the comments!
