Sorting Algorithms - a gorgeous visual explanation

via Carlo Zapponi, this

is an attempt to visualize and help to understand how some of the most famous sorting algorithms work. This project provides two standpoints to look at algorithms, one is more artistic (apologies to any real artist out there), the other is more analytical aiming at explaining algorithm step by step. 
This project does not want to teach the theory of sorting algorithms, there are amazing resources, books and courses for this purpose. SORTING is for the ones who want to see these algorithms under a different ligth and hopefully appreciate the processing and brain power behind these piece of genius that in many ways have changed the way we live.

Go check it out, its beautiful, visually arresting, and eminently understandable.
