A friend thinks of it a "a poor-man's GAN". I can see the similarities: an image is "recreated", using elements from something else.

Original developer refers to it as part of a "glitch-aesthetic" which I get - but it's not a glitch, an error. There are seeming "hiccups" in the discontinuities. It's essentially a tile-mosaic replicator using a quad-tree to focus on sizes. It takes a long time to process, mainly due to the quad-tree preocessing.

I thought that Richard Winters (last time I checked, all images had been removed, which makes me sad) was using a custom version inspired by WATMAP, but I've long-since changed my mind. Using square-subsections (instead of variadic-sized rectangles) and processes each color channel (RGB?) separately. So, channel-based tile-sets.
