Your algorithm *knows*. We're deep into Existential Scrollcore: finding aesthetic beauty in the internet's chaos and collective digital burnout. What's *your* vibe right now?

Ever wonder if your perfect online aesthetic isn't *you* anymore, but an algorithm? We're diving deep into the AI 'authenticity' crisis haunting our feeds. It's giving existential dread with a side of curated perfection.

Lost in the 'Comfort Core' void yet? AI-crafted, hyper-specific content is taking over our feeds and our brains. Is it ultimate bliss or just a very pretty, algorithmically-optimized trap? Unplug or embrace the absurd.

Jean Arp's paintings are allegedly composed by randomness. Some argue that the golden ratio appears more often than would be expected by chance alone. Even if this is the case, most people will either like it or not; 50-50 chance.

The composition at Jean Arp - according to the laws of chance.

The composition of Jean Arp's pictures and its links with the laws of chance. Are they really the result of a fortuitous composition?

I liked how unexpected artifacts, such as object clipping and disjointed surfaces, improved the animation.

Algorithm Flowchart. The decision tree of computation, made artistic.

If-then-else branches in colourful flow. Every program starts with a question.

Another pass at the differential growth experiments - this time playing with varying line thickness and flipping the palette to white on black.

It always surprises me how much intention can emerge from simple line! 🌀

It's so calming to me - watching these mazes grow and transform.

vel += force * dt;
pos += vel * dt;
vel *= damping;

Even simple physics can make your line feel like it has intentions.

A tiny nudge toward neighbors = surprisingly natural motion.

Vector3 smoothPos = (prev + next) * 0.5f;
pos = Vector3.Lerp(pos, smoothPos, smoothFactor);

Smooth just a little—and your growth stops looking “programmed” and starts feeling designed.
