In Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time, spiders evolve human-level intelligence and build their own digital age (it’s a great book). When they need to encode images, they index pixels from the center outward in a spiral, because of course they would think in spirals.
That insignificant part of the book always stuck with me. So I built a tool that reorders pixels in images and video the same way, showing how a spider might receive our data and completely fail to understand it.
Using the classic Muybridge horse film, I generated 3D models using ComfyUI and worked with the frame by frame models as replacement animation in Cinema4D, where I could then do anything I wanted.
Realtime AI mirrors create surreal shadow puppets that make great interactive experiences for a networking party.

With rising seawater temperatures and ocean acidification that threaten the survival of numerous aquatic species, sea urchin is emerging as one of the most climate-resilient organisms capable of adapting to warming seawater conditions. Urchin Futures project proposes introducing the Atlantic green sea urchin into New England’s aquacultures to guarantee food supply amidst climate change.

Tried some procedural techniques. Decided I needed to place the squares by hand instead.
