"Vaporization" of the Millennium Falcon



What is really going on in the following gif movie is the transition of the Falcon into stationary noise. The noise is constrained to have an equivalent Power Spectral Density as the falcon. As the image sequence progresses, the phase angles in the Falcon frequency domain drift to the random values of the noise. We titled this "Vaporization" because the spatially structured values of the Falcon are gradually converted to the uniform, but colored, structure of the noise.
