One painting becomes a page
Every motif starts as a single generated still, becomes a five-second clip, and ends as a grid of dots redrawn eleven times a second on an HTML canvas. The dot field is the design — it is not a filter laid over an image.
A Renaissance oil painting of a subject made of many small elements — a flock, a field, a fleet. Solid objects dither into an illegible blob; many-part subjects render as themselves.
Image-to-video with a locked-off camera. Video rather than separately generated frames, because independent frames drift in geometry and the result flickers.
Eleven frames a second, borders cropped, background flattened so codec noise does not dither into a haze of stray dots.
Luma, auto-levels pinned across the sequence, then an 8×8 Bayer ordered matrix quantising to a few tone levels. Each cell drawn as a circle whose radius scales with tone.
Turbulent motifs never repeat, so the tail crossfades into the head rather than cutting. The cursor displaces sampling coordinates, bending the field like wind.
