Similarity ring

A photo library on a ring, in the order that makes each photo most like the next, so turning it is a slow drift from one kind of picture to another. Drag to spin it; switch to a strip or a grid and the photos travel there.

CLIP reads each photo in your browser, and the order is the shortest loop through all of them by visual distance: a nearest-neighbour tour, then 2-opt swaps. Started from a gallery that morphs between layouts. Photos from Unsplash.
