An abstract world in the style of early lo-fi game-console 3D is rocked by an eerie interplay of a simulated earthquake and snowfall.

The piece avoids the traditional techniques of 3D animation entirely, without a single keyframe. It is a scripted dynamic system with feedback, generated by script rather than modelled, so it develops on its own and yields unpredictable results. Not software-rendered but drawn directly by the graphics card, it unfolds live on screen like a computer game. For presentation, a few hours were captured from the screen and edited into a short film.
