Each circle has a -different size and direction, but moves at the same slow rate. Display: - A. The instantaneous intersections of the circles. - B. The aggregate intersections of the circles. +The circles begin with a radius of 1 pixel and slowly increase to some +arbitrary size. Circles are drawn with small moving points along the +perimeter. The intersections are rendered as glowing orbs. Glowing +orbs are rendered only when a perimeter point moves past the +intersection point. -Ported to XScreensaver from the art project "InterMomentary" at -http://www.complexification.net +Written by Casey Reas, William Ngan, Robert Hodgin, and Jamie Zawinski; 2004.
