CHROME, collection of 128 channels, 2023

On-Chain multi-channel real-time animation, JavaScript, GLSL, variable dimensions

Chrome is a 128 channel realtime animation, coordinated by universal time (UTC). It emerges from a continuous linear motion, interrupted by a choreography between rhythm and random. Every channel is offset one additional second into the future, based on the token id assigned by the custom smart contract. This relation becomes visible when multiple channels are running in a shared space. Compositions emerge and evolve at various regular intervals, without ever repeating. Once per hour the synchronization stops and all channels act individually, before they transition back to coordination.
