Contour
Twenty six rings breathing through a noise field. Bring your cursor close and the terrain lifts away from you.
AFTER FORM
01ORBIT
particles held in orbital patterns
An experimental studio working between movement, sound, light and geometry. This page is the studio. Move slowly, it notices.
(a) digital experiments
Three small machinesfor looking.
Each one is a tiny system with a single rule and a lot of patience. Hover to disturb it. Click to grow a new variation from a fresh seed.
02
Lattice
A grid of needles reading an invisible wind. Arrive, and they all turn to find you.
03
Bloom
A thousand seeds placed by the golden angle. Shift that angle by a thousandth and the whole flower rearranges itself.
We build small systems, then wait for them to surprise us.Every frame on this page is computed as you watch it. Nothing is a video.
(b) the process
Code becomes movement.Movement becomes form.
- 01
Code
Every piece starts as a rule. A few lines describing how a point should behave, never what the result should look like.
- 02
Movement
Run the rule over time and the point starts to travel. Speed, friction and pull give it a temperament.
- 03
Form
Run it for many points at once and the paths settle into a shape. The form is what the movement leaves behind.
(c) interaction playground
Your turn.
Draw anywhere on the stage. Symmetry, memory and spin do the rest. If you stop for a moment, the stage keeps drawing on its own until you take over again.

(d) closing statement
Form iswhat movementleaves behind.
AFTERFORM makes installations, identities and tools that move. The studio is fictional. Everything you touched on the way down was real code, running live.
