Static Bloom

Static Bloom runs on a loop in the lobby of a contemporary art space, generated in TouchDesigner from a particle system seeded by the building's real-time foot traffic sensor.

Rather than animate a fixed sequence, I built a rule set — attraction, decay, bloom — and let the system compose its own frames live. What's archived here is one representative capture; the actual installation never repeats the same pattern twice.

Commissioned as part of the gallery's rotating lobby program and ran for four months.
