The Gallery
Where the feed is the ground in motion, this is the ground drawn. Nothing here is a picture of an idea — each piece is the idea, computed. One specimen per seam: the colour is its vein, the form is that seam's concept rendered as a real algorithm, the frame is the house, and the code in the corner is a doorway back to its layers. Every piece is a generator — re-derivable at any size or seed, and it never lies about the maths it draws.
The seam specimens — eleven veins, eleven algorithms

The studies — the instruments, drawn
-
Sediment Currents Noise flow-field Thousands of particles drifting the gradient of layered value-noise — a real flow, made visible. -
The Abelian Sandpile Cellular automaton · 130k grains The exact object the sandpile instrument plays, toppled to stability — the famous fractal. -
Strange Attractor Clifford attractor · density plot A chaotic orbit plotted by how often it visits each point — order hiding inside chaos. -
Core Sample The house emblem The identity mark — a core sample whose strata are bands of literal code microtext. -
The Core Catalogue Specimen sheet Every vein’s core sample, gridded together with calibration furniture.
Every piece is rendered by a generator in scripts/design/ — the art is the computation, so it can't go stale or off-brand. How each one is made and where it comes from is in the colophon; the live channel is Wasteland TV.
