Syzygy

Fireflies like Stepping-Stones

Fireflies Across the Border

Intermittently flashing, they carve free-flowing paths of light through dark time. Each spark signals an evanescent route of moving  steps run-through by matching rhythms calling forth immanent reproduction. Leaving no trace except immediate direction to those already there, they are semaphores to an alternate world, passages from the future of a traveling autonomy.
 


 

The metaphor is derivative, a reproduction from a more articulate source. I cannot find the corresponding reference in the text I thought it was from.

Concrescent Loops

SYNCHRONOUS primordium

A random selection of more or less recent audio loops.  In common, they share a healthy dose of aleatoric production methods making sure that every performance is significantly different. Even though the shared recordings are static replicas of a particular variation, they all represent unique renditions of entirely unrepeatable performances.

Retracing Previous Methods

 A Reminder to Not Postpone

Animation renders in preview, then post.

In conversation, when I was describing the effect, it occurred that there could be an application for it as a surveillance tool. It compresses frames both spatially and temporally so image sequences can be monitored more efficiently, at a higher rate and with individually modifiable layers. The images themselves are not compressed, the sequence is (however the sample above was further compressed several times by the publishing platform.)
