Idoni explores the unique visual characteristics of systems and algorithms.

It is an infinite animation in which every moment—every frame—is unique and ephemeral.

Idoni is created from 3 layers.

Layer I

Recursively draws an almost architectural geometric structure. It explores how recursion and the order in which the elements are painted determines the visual result.

Layer DO

Tiny particles wander through space indefinitely, tirelessly navigating and exploring every corner. A particle system with its own behavior, typical of the algorithmic world.

Layer NI

Tracing particles in the DO layer and the drawn structure in layer I determine where we take image clippings and copy them into this layer.

The final visual result is distorted and redrawn. Sometimes the animation recalls the initial geometric structure; other times, the collage process of cutting and pasting glitches the entire image.

A unique combination of two algorithmic systems from the previous layers creates a new result—one that visually gathers the characteristics of the algorithmic medium to enhance its properties and inner particularities.

Press the letter i to view layer I.

Press the letter d to view the DO layer.

Press the letter n to view the NI layer.

Press the letter c (crema!) to burn the NI layer animation.

Press the letter g (genera) to view, step by step, how layer I is created.

Press the letter a (atura) to freeze the current unique frame.

Press the letter e (engega) to resume the animation.

Click anywhere in the artwork to guide the particles and the collage.
