From the comments

Fourier's theory will never make any face since it's like you said an addition of sines with their Fourrier coefficient. But this for regular curves and not parametric ones that could do so. Sorry to break your dreams like that, but I had to tell it to you. The explanation given in the link is not the easiest to understand Fourrier and his theory.

I can't believe more people haven't come to the defense of umeancompetitor. I've been watching this blog, and its amazing tangled storylines involving Juelz Santana, Michael McDonald, Epcot Center etc. etc. for, I guess, a couple of years. I think what is so great about his work is his ability to tap into and exploit the randomness/painfulness/crudeness of so many internet ads and designs and push it out into some other extreme. He is also incredibly funny - for example: I don't really understand why this equation does what it does. What I do know is that it makes Kathie Lee Gifford's forehead develop an ectopic pair of upward-scrolling magenta eyes, and so therefore I feel that this is a very powerful equation for the internet.

I can't believe more people haven't come to the defense of umeancompetitor. Perhaps because the links in this post have either: 1. Crashed their browser, rendering them unable to post. 2. Blinded them, rendering them unable to find the "Post Comment" button. or 3. Driven them permanently mad--I mean, like, looking-into-the-face-of-the-elder-gods-level mad-- rendering them unable to do anything but gibber and drool for the remainder of their days. Just putting that out there as a possibility.

(I mean, yeah, I understand the annoyance, but that glitchy, incorporating browser slowdown/crashes into the work is I think exactly what he's going for. That being said, if you don't know that going in...well, I'd be annoyed too.)

*recovers vision* I can't believe more people haven't come to the defense of umeancompetitor. I'm not saying I'm not impressed. In fact, few things I've seen on the internet have seared my eyes so painfully. That website is to good webdesign what goatse is to tastefulness and what timecube is to logic. It took bad webdesign to its pinnacle of perfection. Count me a "fan."

My first take was that it reminded me of a poorly-executed version of something I saw on jodi.org ten years ago. That was art, and this is eye abuse, I thought. But reading the posts on the math involved in manipulating the images in the animated GIFs, I have to say, it's a little more like madness than a simple campaign to get epileptics off the web. Thanks.
