An independent science-art studio turns research and physics into short films, browser games, and free-to-use visuals.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.
For
Curious viewers, science educators, and researchers
Worth noticing
Its labels separate study-measured data, physics-derived calculations, and staged choices such as color, camera movement, and game rules.

Field notes

The page describes two browser games with explicit physical mechanisms: ripples bend sunlight into bright points in Burnt!, while bubble color changes with soap-film thickness in Before It Pops. It also gives both games a daily element, with a fresh pool in one and a shared thorn layout in the other. A labeling guide distinguishes measured data and calculations from staged presentation choices.
