Nikita / MR-Kartoshki

I build things that probably shouldn’t exist.

About

I’m Nikita, an IT student in Vienna who mostly builds open-source software, Minecraft mods, and whatever idea sounds interesting enough to spend way too much time on. Projects usually start because something annoys me enough to fix it, or because someone says, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if...?’

Bad Apple, but...

Recreating the same video using increasingly inappropriate formats.

Bad Apple, but every frame is a valid QR code

Every individual frame is a fully scannable QR code that links back to that exact frame.

~2,600 QR codes · 12 FPS

Bad Apple, but it’s only Bézier curves

Each frame is reconstructed from a fixed set of Bézier curves approximating the original silhouette.

64 curves per frame

Bad Apple, but every frame is a valid Sudoku

Every frame is represented as a valid uniquely solvable Sudoku puzzle while still approximating the video.
