Lab

Small interfaces, visual experiments, and tools I make to think with.

  • A Red Alert tank rendered as a cobalt-blue orthographic engineering drawing with a vehicle roster and technical controls

    Red Alert Armory

    Interactive experiment · 2026

    A growing Red Alert archive brings battlefield units and structures together on one interactive blueprint table.

  • A razor seam of chartreuse-to-cyan light folding to a bright point low on a grainy black field

    Afterglow

    Generative experiment · 2026

    A dark gradient backdrop generator — one seam of neon light in a grainy black field, folded to a point or bent around an eclipse.

  • A silhouetted figure standing before a tall doorway of orange light in a black hall, the spill dragging their shadow across a concrete floor

    Threshold

    Interactive experiment · 2026

    A figure at a doorway that burns orange in a black hall — one photograph, rebuilt as a room and lit in real time.

  • Painted iris on black — coral inner ring dissolving into cobalt blue strokes with cyan and violet accents

    Iris

    Generative experiment · 2026

    A procedural iris painting generator — thousands of layered pastel strokes with dry-brush texture and domain-warped color smears.

  • Fiber Field Generator

    Interactive experiment · 2026

    Five fields of perfectly straight optical fibers, drifting, with light flowing along them.

  • Teal and rust volumetric nebula with a blazing golden core and a field of stars

    Nebula

    Generative experiment · 2026

    A procedural nebula image generator — volumetric cloud, a blazing core, and a field of stars behind it.

  • Blue, cyan, and gold particles flowing like a turbulent tide

    Particle Tide

    Interactive experiment · 2026

    A GPU particle field that folds blue, cyan, and gold currents into a continuously shifting tide.

  • Radial Calendar showing August 2026 and public holidays

    Radial Calendar

    Interactive experiment · 2026

    A year of Chinese and U.S. public holidays, drawn as a radial timeline.
