Website of the week: Double the fun

Published on Wednesday 20 May 2009 16:31

ANOTHER FABULOUSLY addictive site that takes images off the internet which you identify by typing a word into the search box (bee, monkey, nose, leap, etc) and then, using technology that we can't begin to understand – although the phrase "it's all done with mirrors" springs to mind – creates a new picture that is perfectly symmetrical.

If you're stumped for an idea, take inspiration from the cache of themed images already in place (featuring the requisite cats, puppies, fluffy things and smiling faces). But do get creative, because this nifty toy is sophisticated enough to take mere minutes to call up a fresh batch of weird and wonderful pictures based on your suggestions.
