ImageWorthy is a project by Steve Varga to visualize New York Times Newswire API. ImageWorthy takes the past 500 articles posted to the New York Times online and searches for articles which contain images. These images are only available in 75pixelx75pixel thumbnails, so to get around this limitation they are enlarged using a modified halftone pattern and shown at a large resolution. The images are also color averaged, creating a background color on which to display the halftoned images. Images can either be selected by hand or shown in slideshow mode. Steve is considering making a screensaver but says maybe in the near future.

Made with openFrameworks and the New York Times newswire API.
