Ringers in Motion

In Ringers, a single string wraps a field of pegs by a fixed set of rules. Ringers in Motion sets the results side by side and moves through the algorithm’s parameters over time, so you see the system rather than a single image.

Nothing is prerecorded: 55 scenes are drawn in code as they play, for over an hour without repeating, and each wrap of a string sounds a bell-like note. The grid fits whatever screen it finds, from the museum’s wall to a phone, and rebuilds itself when the window changes.
