-The Intersection Momentary is a fun visualization defining the relationships
-between objects with Casey Reas, William Ngan, and Robert Hodgin. Commissioned
-for display at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
+A surface is filled with a hundred medium to small sized circles.
+Each circle has a different size and direction, but moves at the same
+slow rate. Displays the instantaneous intersections of the circles as
+well as the aggregate intersections of the circles.
-A surface filled with 100 medium to small sized circles. 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.
