A Quiet Machine
A screen that keeps drawing while no one is watching.

I set a few rules and handed the rest to the machine. The only inputs are time and the position of a cursor. No two frames are the same, but from far enough away it always looks like the same thing.
How it was made
Particles drift across a flow field and leave the faintest mark where they pass. Every frame paints a little of the background back over them, so in the end all of it disappears.
Tuning the speed of that disappearance was the whole of this work.
What remains
There is no state called finished. Leave it open and it keeps being something else.
