An 8-dimensional spiral traversal of image space

Nothing remarkable at 90 degrees or 40-60, but finally at 121+ degrees it feels like I've got another winner. There are fewer pairs in this region, so maybe 3 out of 10 times it falls back on a random pair - to see what happened, one can click in the unmarked area next to the options to display a message.

I made the algorithm much more tenacious, so fallback to random should be rare now.

Most of the 32K D > 120 degrees are interesting to me, but not as many are making it over the curation threshold as I first thought. Here's a pair that I like, but might not subject anyone but a fine art fiend to (i.e. not usable for creating a general-purpose AI).

I put 12 of the latest 500+ pairs curated into a pnet Gallery, which I don't know how to link to, but copy/paste gives a nice font at least:

temporary golden angle pairs

If that whets anyone's appetite, there are 13030 of these pairs that show in default mode (click on a pic) at Phobrain.com, following associative themes.

Here you go. Live link to PhotoRiot's (Bill's) twelve pairs. It's kind of more interesting to see a bunch of them (thumbs) all at once.

Looks like the slide show feature is gone from pnet, leaving Phobrain to carry the torch. Hopefully I can make a go of it. :-)

I made a page with four pairs of 32K-D, mine and collaborators Raf&Skot, here. Four Duets, named after TS Eliot's Four Quartets to get the juices flowing.

Here's a Linkedin announcement about the Golden Angle feature:

And here for comparison is a series I put together using keyword matches over half an hour or so - much higher yield, but lots of work to keyword.
