Ripples Background
A tiled pool picture sits under moving water: a wave height field in the fragment shader bends every lookup by its slope and gathers light where its curvature focuses, with swell, drop and interference patterns, stretch and speed.

WebGL Chromatic Ripple on Click
Clicking anywhere on a full-screen WebGL quad drops a ripple into a procedural dusk gradient: up to five rings expand from a vec4 uniform array, bending the picture along the wavefront with red/blue aberration, fading as they grow; idle, it ripples by itself.

medium Noisy Track
The pointer drags a wake of noisy distortion through a full-bleed dusk-dune picture: a decaying float trail buffer masks an fbm displacement with static rows, grain and RGB split, widening with pointer speed, then heals.

medium Slitscan
A poster is sliced into strips (or rings) that each slide by their own phase, so the image repeats in stepped copies like a slit-scan photo; a looping wave drives it, the pointer drags the nearest strips and scroll scrubs and shears the scan.

Featured medium Pixelation Transition
A full-bleed WebGL plane dissolves into a mosaic (cells grow 1 → 48 px), swaps to the next of three procedural pictures at the coarsest moment and sharpens back — on click, or automatically every 4 seconds.
