no. 01 — ridges

Slow pictures for
quiet screens.

Lines, dunes and tides drawn from a single number. Nothing here is a photo — every frame is computed in your browser and forgotten a moment later.

Pieces

Six small drawings. Tap one for a new seed, or put it on the header to watch it move.

Log

Short notes, mostly to myself.

  1. New address

    Moved everything to this domain. The old links will keep working for a while, then quietly stop.

  2. Hidden lines

    Ridgelines only look like mountains once the back lines get hidden. Filling each line with paper colour before stroking it is the entire trick.

  3. Fewer dots

    The dunes used to have forty thousand points. Six thousand placed carefully read better and draw ten times faster.

  4. Thirty frames is plenty

    Everything here moves slowly on purpose, so the header runs at thirty frames a second and stops entirely when you look away.

  5. One colour

    Ink on paper, with a single blue for accents. Constraints make choosing easier.

About

A slow website. It does not update often, and that is the point.

emptinnes static is a personal sketchbook of procedural drawings. Each piece is a few dozen lines of code that turn a seed into a picture; the same seed always gives the same picture.

No cookies, no counters, no fonts or scripts from anywhere else. The whole site is a handful of small files.
