I find myself in a world of chaos and turbulence, of confusion and disorder. At the still point, I—or perhaps we—find ourselves, yet we are never truly still. This work is both a meditation and a portrait of modern awareness: an algorithmic reflection on the search for calm within uncertainty. The title echoes a line from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, which contemplates presence within time and the dance of the living moment. ### Inspiration and Creation *At the Still Point of the Turning World...* (AKA “Still Point”) is the fifth project in the Zenerative series, a collection of Zen-inspired generative art projects. “Still Point” explores holding presence in a dynamic world and maintaining calm within a sort of structured chaos. Within each output is an identity surrounded by overlapping and interacting rings that create interference. The motion of the outer world affects the inner, and a visual motion is hinted at while a psychological motion is created. These effects are enhanced when a piece is portrayed digitally, as pixels on the screens will dance with the narrow and high contrast lines. The artworks are size agnostic vector graphics, and they are both plottable* and feature togglable animation**. I choose to only use black and white for this piece, because I wanted to emphasize this strange vibrancy of chaos and confusion that I find myself in. Color made it too…pedestrian, or pretty. Only stark black and white seems appropriate for this portrait; their interplay and overlapping patterns adding to the visual aesthetic. While I made this piece to reflect my experience and visualize my state of being, I know that others resonate with the theme and symbolism. It’s not a traditional self portrait, and it may not be a portrait of only me. Others may see themselves in it as well, and while we may feel like we’re alone in that center, we’re together in the experience. *”Still Point” is plottable, but paths must be cropped to the SVG viewport. **”Still Point” features animation that can be activated by using a URL flag, but due to technical constraints, outputs do not animate smoothly on all devices. Modern smartphones, as well as Mac computers with Apple Silicon chips running Chrome should give good results.

AnnoMetta (‘Anno’ meaning year in Latin and ‘Metta’ meaning loving-kindness in Pali), is a 1/1 artwork that symbolizes community connections through a dynamic canvas. With elements shifting hourly, daily, monthly, and annually, the generative art is fully customizable via URL parameters. When viewing the live code in a token or on https://annometta.com, press 'escape' to open a customization menu. I approached this project as a way to visualize the connections between individuals. These could be simple relationships, a network or community, or an abstract representation of compassion (in the spirit of Metta). I wanted to create a single piece of art that will always change, but where a specific output can always be recreated. I feel like the longest cycle many people think about is a single year, and the starting hue of any render of this work cycles over the course of a year, just like seasons. The piece will look about the same every year on your birthday, for example, but it would never be exactly the same. Technically, new art is created every hour, but even within a single hour, multiple outputs can be made – change the window size or the screen resolution and the art changes. Everything is deterministic, meaning that there is always a reproducible pattern to the dynamic changes. No output is ever truly lost and can be recreated with the right settings. AnnoMetta can be enjoyed for free around the world and at any time, and I hope that when viewing it, one thinks of the connections and maybe even the compassion shared between us.
