Julia, Drifting
The Mandelbrot's siblings. Freeze its formula at one fixed c and a whole new universe appears. Here c wanders slowly along a curve, so the set breathes — dissolving from connected dust to filigree and back.
A field guide to computed forms — six specimens of algorithmic art, each drawn pixel by pixel in your browser from nothing but arithmetic. Nothing here is a photograph. Everything here is a number that learned to bloom.

A single point, bounced through four sine waves a few hundred thousand times. It never lands twice, yet it never escapes — tracing a ghost shape that only exists in the accumulation.
Thousands of particles set adrift on an invisible field of angles derived from flowing noise. Each follows the local current, leaving a trail — together they map a weather system that has no weather.
The same rule a sunflower uses. Place each seed 137.5° around from the last — the golden angle — and florets pack with impossible efficiency, spiraling in two directions at once. Nature's favourite irrational number, made visible.
A drawing made by pendulums. Two swinging weights, slowly losing energy, guide a pen across paper. Victorian parlours had the real machines; this one is pure trigonometry, decaying toward stillness.
