A generative-art project that turns real-physics simulations into curve drawings, videos, 4K loops, and macOS screensavers.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The project separates its visual experiments into named studios: LissajousStudio handles harmonic curve tracing and audio-driven tones, while ClockworkStudio runs independent pendulum rigs. Other listed experiments include six-layer projectile arenas and crystal seeds competing for territory. The creator says the engine is written in Swift and Metal and runs on the GPU. The homepage also points to a catalog of more than 650 simulations, alongside 4K loops and macOS screensavers.
