InvIncBig

I got the idea to make this picture when I heard about complex inversion (the function that associates 1/z to z). This operation transforms circles into lines and vice-versa. Every single sphere has its center and radius transformed by an external program through this transformation, and is regularly set in a grid whose columns can be translated independently. This lead to a neat MPEG animation, where spheres grow and shrink without intersecting each other...
