Afterglows Experimental Archive

The Stargate dialing computer has been promoted to a standalone workspace, where its multi-generational interface and simulation continue beyond this archive. It remains linked here as the largest project to graduate from the collection. Its dedicated repository now carries the dialing interface, simulation generations, and project history as a complete system rather than reducing that work to a frozen exhibit.

A high-fidelity CRT simulation toolkit for scanlines, phosphor persistence, screen curvature, chromatic aberration, and reusable power-on effects. The components recreate the character and imperfect motion of physical displays without requiring vintage hardware. Combine the effects into a complete monitor treatment, from restrained terminal glass to degraded broadcast imagery, with direct control over every visual layer.

A standalone digital-rain toolkit with six switchable modes: classic CSS columns, Canvas rain, binary, film, draft, and trace, with independently themed colors. Each implementation is available as a focused demo and a reusable starting point for terminal interfaces. The modes range from lightweight decorative backgrounds to Canvas-driven fields for landing pages, dashboards, terminals, and standalone visual experiments.

1,000 motion experiments across 13 disciplines and 66 categories explore mathematics, physics, biology, machines, and unusual interfaces. Versioned refinements preserve earlier approaches while newer studies improve motion, physical behavior, and visual identity. The gallery is both archive and laboratory: compare iterations, inspect source, and follow geometry, culture, and everyday systems as they become recognizable animated objects.
