These were pure Python, I'll port this to Processing or Cocoa when I pick it up again. I did experiment with limited letter sets, I have pictures of myself spelled with "Z-A-C-H" here somewhere... This begs for more experimentation -- blend modes, different fonts, whole words (with rotation?),.. There may even be a way to apply the effect to a video stream in realtime, using some creative math and a little cheating ;) Thanks Christian!

Poems about butterflies, err something. Dialog from films that mention Mona Lisa? Maybe just use the text from the wiki page for Mona Lisa and Butterfly?

I'd love to see what heuristics you finally end up with. Genetic Mutation Algorithms are THE awesome. I’d love to see what heuristics you finally end up with.
