# Visualisers

> Seven interactive generative artworks by Vincent Venema, featured on vincent.works.

Visualisers is a collection of interactive generative artworks by Vincent Venema. Turn music into red abstract forms, watch ghost insects wander through articles, grow botanical structures from ASCII characters, explore words, hand signs and live weather behind frosted glass, or guide a fluid colour form with movement and sound. Each experiment runs in your browser and invites you to change the image through simple controls and keyboard shortcuts.

The interface and displayed content are in English. Choose a scene from the top-right selector. Controls and full screen share one toolbar. All control tabs, including Keys, use the same panel size for the selected scene.

## Experiments

- [Signal](discover/signal/): Create red-on-black generative visuals that react to music. Blend organic forms, orbiting rings and fractures, with VCR-style texture and live audio input.
- [Insects](discover/insects/): Ghost insects wander through English news and insect articles. Explore an interactive text artwork with animated wireframes, word connections and adjustable text.
- [Forms](discover/forms/): Explore flowers and trees built from glowing ASCII characters. Generate botanical forms, turn them in three dimensions and discover the species behind the artwork.
- [Fog](discover/fog/): Words, quotes and shapes drift behind frosted glass. Change the palette, softness and gravity, or type your own words into this interactive generative artwork.
- [Signs](discover/signs/): Explore animated three-dimensional hand signs behind frosted glass. Choose a pose or sentence, watch automatic signing and read each sign's English explanation.
- [Weather](discover/weather/): Turn live weather into an atmospheric frosted-glass artwork. Search for a city or use your location to explore temperature, wind and changing conditions.
- [Sky](discover/sky/): A fluid chromatic form swells, ripples and dissolves with your movement and with sound. Shift between six palettes or let it play by itself as a wallpaper.
