Orb Time: the time in which we contemplate orbs and orb-related topics (roundness, hovering strategies, ominous noises, etc). While I am not a member of the Orb community I try to be a supportive ally. #touchdesigner #raytk #raymarching #orb

This was one of my first experiments with raymarching, a few months before I started work on RayTK. Little did I know it would become the basis of most of my work for at least the next six years. I'm excited to enter the next phase with Aurion (coming soon). #touchdesigner #raymarching #raytk

This shape has been practicing this dance and wanted to show off her progress. It's taken a lot of intense physical conditioning to be able to move so smoothly. Personally I doubt I'd be able to do it. #touchdesigner #raytk #raymarching #visuals

This is from a project called signal from 2017. It's entirely 2d feedback systems and noise patterns. I spent a while in that phase. Might be fun to explore it again. #touchdesigner #visuals

Getting back to my liquid metal roots with RayTK. They don't work well as roots though. Very little water gets transported into me through them. And they're pretty bad at anchoring me to the ground. #touchdesigner #raytk #raymarching #visuals #abstractart

How many times will I create surface deformation with iterated transforms? Many many times. I guess there's some sort of value in that. It's comforting being able to do it easily and get decent results. #touchdesigner #raymarching #aurion #aurionengine #visuals

Tekt @t3kt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I have an instinctive revulsion to creating things that seem too similar to what I've already created. Everything has to be new or novel in some way, or at least demonstrably "better", whatever that means. It stops me from making art, which probably isn't good. 🤷‍♀️ #touchdesigner #aurionengine

Dancing in a crowd, a guy bumps into me kinda hard. I glare at him a little. He leans over and says "I'm going to bump into you. It's not sexual". At which point I really start glaring at him and wave him off and then he gradually retreats. 😐
