smells very much like 'the wheel of reincarnation'. http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/W/wheel-of-reincarnation.html but definitely cool though. it should be possible in pd through pf soon (maybe in a year ;) but cards are not really optimized to read back from graphics memory i think.
Is this possible with pd? http://www.bionicfx.com/
-Realtime seems to be a problem, because things have to be translated from video into audio and back and forth:
video card 5. AVEX data sent to the GPU for processing 6. Iterative processes perform functions and read and write results to textures 7. Final output of shaded pixels sent to off-screen video buffers 8. Video data is retrieved and decoded into audio
AvS
