Imagery & credits
The story behind this site is drawn in particles — fields of light sampled in your browser from night imagery. The photographs it samples, with thanks:
- “Chicago Skyline from North Avenue Beach” by Bohao Zhao, licensed CC BY 3.0.
- “Looking up at the Empire State Building at night” by Chris Rycroft, licensed CC BY 2.0.
- “The Bay Lights on Bay Bridge” by Roman Boed, licensed CC BY 2.0.
Each photograph is modified: cropped, tone-mapped and sampled into points of light. The United States and full-earth night mosaics are NASA Black Marble imagery (public domain, courtesy NASA Earth Observatory). The server room, the clockwork and the circuit board are our own drawn artwork.
