Generative art comes in many forms.

Code is fire ↓

I just realized that there are only 18 “Towers” for sale right now on secondary… Generic reminder: “Towers” is web-app ready (can run in fullscreen on mobile) and is also slightly responsive: it becomes a bit thinner on narrow vertical displays like phones.

Little side project: displaying 100k unique faces in the browser with WebGL instancing. ↓

Custom projects require custom tools. “XXX” editor/prototype tool for pharmacy crosses (2020).

“Dyna”, an hommage to Paul Haeberli on the ASCII playground. Source-code below. ↓

Progress with vectors: the scene is streamed directly from the browser (Serial API capable) with no intermediate server. Clipping happens in the browser. The refresh rate can go up to 300hz which makes it look almost material. This will be built-in retroactively into X-Y-Z. ↓

Fast vector renderer unlocked… can handle 1M segments with individual colors and weights on my old MacBook. …not bad! The grid is ready to be broken! #webgl #instancing #realtime #textmode

Throwback: “Operators” Four operators, four different ways to dither. Realtime, on-board. Cable is for power only.

Meltdown, melting and scrolling its own source away, in amber. ↓

Art on Contract: last year I wrote an interactive tool to generate ASCII-art for TITLES’s series of smart contracts. A short thread ↓

Meltdown’s built-in typewriter with “rainbowMode” enabled. ↓

Interpolation test

X-Y-(Z), third chapter. JS code streaming itself in realtime from the browser to an HP vector display. No pixels, phosphor only. ♫ “Relay” by Gooooose (One of my favorite tracks of 2025, used with permission) Bit-bang magic by Alphonse🌱

Hidden line removal test + viewport clipping. There is nothing smoother than these segments rendered on a 1984 vector display (~120fps). X-Y-Z ↓

How it started…

X–Y-Z #355 in “ortho” mode ↓

“Operators” (Shaky w.i.p. from 2021) Each operator * / + – is rendered with a different dithering technique. #LED #realtime #dithering

Towers are made of text. ↓

ABCDEF… interpolation test. Realtime vector graphics at 120 FPS, no pixels. Original HP font.

Ceci n’est pas un video ↓ The playback of “Link” is handled by a custom script that sequences individual images. The scale, direction, and speed can be modified interactively. Each edition contains two image sets default (1600px) and high quality (4000px).
