I wrote a post about my brief journey with #WebGPU, its inception and base concepts coming from #WebGL, and my attempt at abstracting parts of the API for a 3D engine.

I'll be doing a "Lightning Talk" Thursday @threejsconf for @variable_io, giving a quick insight into our biggest project of last year. Come say hi!

Every 20 seconds, a new Spirit Plant blooms—composed of 4 traditional Polish herbs and an ever-shifting palette of colours.
In just the first 3 days of Expo 2025, visitors have co-created thousands of unique digital plants at the Poland Pavilion. The result? An endlessly evolving garden of collective imagination.

Hello from Osaka! Visiting @expo2025_japan with @dmnsgn to install our latest installation launching in April. 🌿🌼🌺
Can't wait to share more procedural nature like this parametric Sakura from a previous project.

Hiding complexity in #visualprogramming aka eating half the spaghetti 🍝
Graph cleaning - a story, the end might surprise you.
So i'm working on a big project where the @nodes_io graph was getting unwieldily convoluted (541 nodes!) and decided to clean it up.
It took me 3 days but it was all nice and tidy. But where did all the connections go? It's not like the project got less complex (well ok i removed 15% of unused code).
In Nodes on most of our projects we use "links" (portals) that allow you to refer to value by name in different parts of the graph. So I hacked Nodes UI to display all the invisible connections. Heh. Turns out it's all still there! 😳
Last month was a good month for #genart and installations in London:
