Round 09 of 15 · 2 October · From the ocean to compute
Three variants in the deck’s look
Three clean alternatives in the look of Macrocosmos’s own conference deck, near black with one mint green. The ocean as a floor of chips, towers in a ring, a network of points. The useful discovery was structural: each machine builds its own layer of the model, and you can watch it happen. The look was too much like every other compute brand.
The pieces
3 pieces. Each opens live in a new tab.
Sea of compute
CarriedThe ocean surface is a floor of chips that light up in regions; a column of light rises from it.
The machines moved to the sea floor in Lagoon.
Open the piece ↗
Towers
CarriedSixteen towers on a ring of interconnect, each beaming to its own layer of the model.
Stage to layer became Lagoon’s rings and the mark.
Open the piece ↗
Constellation
CarriedA network of points to the horizon; the model’s nodes fly up out of it.
The model assembled from below.
Open the piece ↗Mikyö's note, which moved it on
These are cool, but now they center a little bit too much the kind of matrix aesthetic. I’d like to bring back in more of the nature and more of the musical… starling swarm motif, natural textures, and the cinematics layers… a little bit less of the green.
