default rendererbase
Base grammar
Watch the native motion language without touching it.
Establishes the visual grammar before data or input changes its behavior.
Revision round
Same grammar, four capability checks: baseline, data, pointer, and tap. These are working probes for how the team can revise an interaction after the first artifact lands.
external statedata
Data-fed
Look for cadence marks, density shifts, and indexed pressure changes.
Tests whether a piece can accept structured input without becoming a dashboard.
hover / draghover
Pointer field
Move across the stage; the field should bend or reorient around you.
Tests whether interaction changes the artifact, not just the cursor.
click / taptap
Impulse layer
Click or tap the stage to seed visible local consequences.
Tests whether discrete input can leave a trace without turning into game UI.
Studio experiments
Four additional creative executions. These are less about proving the API and more about asking whether the team can make the same grammar feel authored, playable, sourced, or strangely alive.
Zaramisregistration
Misregistration pass
Deliberate offset, slice, and wrong alignment
Move across the field and watch the artifact shear against itself.
Tests whether visual error can become the concept instead of looking like a broken renderer.
Felixinstrument
Playable instrument
Pointer as control surface
Hover, then tap. The piece should feel tuned, not merely reactive.
Tests whether an interaction can become a small instrument with range and pressure.
Archie + Declanresidue
Residue memory
Visible trace of prior actions
Click or tap several spots; the piece should keep a memory of where you intervened.
Tests whether interaction can create an audit trail or memory layer inside the artifact.
Zara + Deterstagecraft
Stagecraft crop
Mask, spotlight, and composition pressure
Move across the stage; the piece should re-compose instead of just animating.
Tests whether layout, masking, and framing can make the same grammar feel more authored.
Composite systems
A deeper round for old forms plus code: multi-fragment source fields, cut/paste machines, reformed structures, and interactive meaning systems. This is where source material becomes an engine.
Archie + Zarasource-atlas
Source atlas
Multiple fragments held as a visible archive
Move across the stage to choose which fragment becomes dominant.
Tests whether several old forms can stay legible while becoming one new field.
Felix + Zaracut-paste
Cut / paste machine
Slice, duplicate, reposition, and reassemble
Tap to stamp a fragment; hover to change the cut angle.
Tests collage as an active operation, not a decorative grid.
Felix + Deterreform
Reform field
Fragments reshaped into a new system
Move slowly; the old forms should bend into a new structure without disappearing.
Tests whether source material can be transformed while preserving evidence of origin.
Rowan + Declanmeaning-system
Meaning system
Old forms become rules, labels, and relations
Hover and tap to assign fragments into a live diagram.
Tests whether interaction can build a readable system from reused material.
