ASCII Flux
Shuffling ASCII glyphs as a real-time post-process over a rotating cube.
Statement
A study in legibility at the threshold of noise — type that is always resolving and never quite settling.
Each frame, source luminance is quantised into a glyph from a hand-tuned ramp, then perturbed by temporal noise so the field shimmers between order and static.
Originally a real-time TouchDesigner network, re-implemented here in WebGL so the field reacts to you — the cursor sheds little shockwaves of corruption through the glyphs.
Technique
- Glyph-atlas ASCII post-process (GPU)
- Luminance → glyph-density ramp
- Temporal shuffle + cursor-driven displacement
Tools: TouchDesigner, GLSL, WebGL
