Spatial patterns unfolding over time, complexity emerging from simple rules and algorithms, and fleeting moments perpetually repeating; these are the defining elements of each of the hundred animated loops comprising SPACE\TIME.

The code that brought these animations to life was allowed to grow organically, unbound by good coding practices, resulting in a fertile substrate for serendipity. Each iteration was uniquely crafted, for no two were generated using the same code, lending the series an artisanal touch rather than a meticulously curated one. This creative journey spanned three months, traversing diverse locales such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Valencia, and the French countryside. As the series evolved, each place left its imprint on the code and its artistic outputs.

The elongated timeframe in which this series took shape transformed the creative process into a meditative experience. Returning to the code to create new iterations became a cherished ritual, offering a sanctuary for creativity.

All the pieces in this collection unfold with pixels gliding from the top-left to the bottom-right corner, but there is an open invitation for you to explore further. Rotate them at any multiple of 45 degrees to get a different experience.

Rotations may be experienced via loackme's [SPACE\TIME gallery-website](https://loack.me/spacetime/).

Canevach started as a code golfing experiment, 280 characters of HTML, CSS and JavaScript producing pixelated patterns when copy-pasted in the address bar of a web browser.

The code has been adapted for the sake of entropy control and readability, but I tried to keep it as lean as possible to honour the code golfing spirit that initiated the project.

The artwork is generated by manipulating pixels directly through the Canvas API.

Colours are uniformly selected in RGB space, without any colour theory considerations. The only exception is for black, which is made more prominent by the way the algorithm is initiated.

Features
• Canvas size: 8x8 | 16x16 | 32x32 | 64x64 | 128x128
• Number of colours: 1 to 5

Urban Planning continues the exploration of abstract and recursively generated architectural systems that I started with the Recursive Architecture series. It plays on my own fascination with scale models and bird's-eye views, as well as technical drawings.

The number of parameters that can be tweaked was purposefully kept to a minimum. Even the best planners cannot (and maybe should not try to) account for everything.

During the late stages of the creative process, I read Jane Jacobs's 1958 essay 'Downtown is for People' and it played an important role in how I decided to frame this work. The last words, especially, stuck with me: 'Designing a dream city is easy; rebuilding a living one takes imagination.'

CONTACT ATTEMPT [Finalist Award](https://art-meets-science.io/en/contact-attempt-winners-and-finalists-foundation-herbert-w-franke/
)

Organised by Foundation Herbert W. Franke for the 50th Anniversary of the [Arecibo Message](https://art-meets-science.io/en/contact-attempt-50th-anniversary-arecibo-message).

The artwork *base23* explores interstellar communication through a multisensory reinterpretation of the Arecibo message. This interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth was sent out in 1974. Taking the famous 73-line binary transmission, *base23* transforms each 23-bit sequence into both a visualized spiked pattern and corresponding sound elements, creating a dynamic digital experience that cycles through all 73 configurations.

While the original message relied on the assumption that extraterrestrial intelligence would interpret the one-dimensional signal as a 23x73 pixel grid (chosen for their prime number properties), *base23* challenges this anthropocentric perspective by offering alternative representations of the same data. Through its dual manifestation in visual form and sound, the artwork contemplates the inherent complexities and assumptions we make when attempting to convey meaning across the ultimate void of interstellar space and cognitive frameworks.

The entire piece was generated with JavaScript and GLSL, without relying on any external libraries or sound samples.
