I made Sift, an experimental image editor that slices an image into layers. You can offset the layers to generate interference patterns and pseudo-3D effects.

It uses additive blending and a pixel-based light splitting algorithm. It came out of thinking about how to add depth to a grid of pixels. For more info you can read the release notes (https://writing.grantcuster.com/posts/2020-09-01-sift-release-notes/) or watch a video tour (https://youtube.com/watch?v=MJQNnAr40Vw). As always, I'd love to see anything you make with it.

This collection is a good place to start!
A very pleasant guided tour of The Whole Earth Catalog from someone "who was there".
(I really like this genre of video where someone passionate and knowledgeable about a book explains it as they flip through it on camera)
