‘Same Energy’ is a New Visual Search Engine That Finds Related Images by Style and Mood

Toronto-based developer Jacob Jackson just launched a simple visual search engine that’s particularly adept at gathering results with similar patterns, compositions, and textures. Aptly named Same Energy, the tool is still in beta and minimal by design, with a focus on the image rather than keywords. Results are grouped together by category, which generates a more comprehensive set of findings than similar searches. “We believe it should integrate a rich visual understanding, capturing the artistic style and overall mood of an image, not just the objects in it,” a statement says.

Follow Jackson on Twitter for updates on the tool, and try it for yourself on the Same Energy site, where you also can save collections of your discoveries. (via Laughing Squid)

Follow Colossal: Get the Best in Art, Design, and Visual Culture Directly to Your Inbox and Elsewhere

During the last few months, Colossal has been evaluating our relationships with massive companies in lieu of more equitable options. In February, we stopped directing buyers to Amazon in favor of Bookshop, which directly supports independent bookstores. Although we will continue publishing to platforms like Facebook and Instagram, we’ve begun to deemphasize our growth in those spaces. Those who want to keep Colossal in their feeds always can find us on Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, and Flipboard, and now, Mix (formerly StumbleUpon) and LinkedIn, too. We also will be removing services from Google⁠ and other data-hungry trackers in favor of privacy-based analytics and tools.

Going forward, the best way to stay up to date with the latest in art, design, and visual culture is to sign up for our email newsletters. We offer both a short daily option, which includes the previous day’s articles and a pick from our 10-year archive, and a weekly update with a recap of the best articles of the week. Both newsletters often include interesting news we don’t share anywhere else. Check out some previous editions, and sign up.

PS: Our monthly Member Newsletter almost always includes a giveaway, including prints and products you read about on the site each week. Join us!
