WORK

33 sites, each on a different subject with its own layout and motion. Six are below; all of them are on the work page and live on my server.

Project 01

Build #3 · 4 rounds · critic 8.3

FIAMMA

Neon workshop, Turin

A neon workshop that fills only pure neon, so the one red on the site is the gas itself.

The engineOne neon engine draws every sign on the site: glass tube, electrodes, blockout paint, halo and the glow on the wall.

  • Neon drawn in code
  • Split red curtain
  • Pinned bending scene

Project 02

One of my three favourites

STILLE

Radio observatory

A radio observatory’s listening nights, where scrolling tunes the page like a receiver.

The engineOne signal generator draws the hero, the source pages and the printout; a pulsar stack runs at CP 1919’s real 1.3373 s period.

  • Scroll tunes a receiver
  • CRT on / off routes
  • Live pulsar stack

    Scope

    8 pages, English copy

    /* A sign is layered like the real object, back to front:
       wash  : light thrown on the wall
       glass : the unlit tube
       jump  : pen-up moves painted black, as bent in the shop
       halo  : the gas glow around the tube
       tube  : lit glass
       core  : the hot white-pink core of the discharge */
