When did you last slow down and reflect in the flow of your mind?

For much of my life I struggled with depression.
My experience felt drained of colour and meaning, chaos punctuated by crises.

Seeking ways to face it, I explored meditation.
I learned how my mind flows, as I let go of resistance, space opened up to reveal vivid reality.

The idea for Locus began then, as a way to express these experiences with people.

Locus is an immersive digital artwork that invites you to slow down and explore your own inner world.
Millions of fluid particles flow through a translucent human form, mirroring the rhythm and interconnectedness of our sensations.

But the artwork isn’t revealed by just watching.
It’s about directly participating, co-created by your interaction, revealing insights by your unique experience.

Locus is a personal moment of calm, reflection, and connection.
When the project is complete, it will exist as a physical installation, a free online experience, and a series of collectible editions – openly accessible to all.

Supporting this project helps our team to bring this vision to life and share meditative experiences in a way we can all engage with through art.

`Locus` project progress demo – `Material Point Method` fluid-dynamics.

Work-in-progress developing `gl-mpm`, the `MPM` fluid-dynamics technology for `Locus`, and a cutting-edge physics simulation handling multiple forms of matter interacting in one model.
`Locus` is an immersive digital artwork in progress, that embodies meditative experiences, co-created with your natural interactions.

Explore the `Locus` project and the `gl-mpm` real-time interactive demo
on epok.tech/locus – https://epok.tech/locus/ -demo-mpm

Implementing the `MLS-MPM` physics model, with `ASFLIP` integration, supporting `WebGL 1.0`, particle-based physics and rendering, real-time, natural-motion interaction – try it with the camera enabled.

So far 2D not 3D, fluid-dynamics not yet other materials, up to `AFLIP` not yet `ASFLIP`, basic rendering, uniform grid not yet hierarchical `SPGrid`.

Integrates `gl-gpgpu` to simulate all the physics and several other aspects, while supporting `WebGL 1.0` for equity of access on many devices – https://epok.tech/locus/ -demo-gpgpu

Integrates `glsl-optical-flow` for natural-motion interaction via camera to affect fluid particle flow – https://epok.tech/locus/ -demo-optical-flow

I dropped `Peer into the Flow` on Olta - my first NFT series, 66 editions of digital interactive kinetic sketches.
They explore flowing forms and dynamic systems of particles, interact naturally with your look and touch, evolve with their on-chain context.
This series prototypes, develops, and raises funds to support a larger upcoming artwork, Locus.

Collectors engage with this work across many levels: they interact naturally by look and touch, choose their own unique edition, see their own and all editions' aesthetics change as they're minted and traded, directly support the creation of Locus, and close the loop as NFT editions of the completed Locus will reconnect with these editions.

Check the link epok.tech to explore more about this series, artistic concepts and tech explored, dynamic on-chain evolution, sales tiers, and how to support further artwork Locus.

This was pretty unexpected - (https://www.instagram.com/namuuuuu/), a Korean musician and meditative performer, asked a few months ago if she could use my old Tendrils real-time A/V project (https://epok.tech/tendrils/), just got back to me with this lovely video of her beautiful performance (https://youtu.be/xAzJBpLp3Ys)
Probably its biggest live setup too, all handled by her, nice to see it’s that versatile - turned out well!
Some full-screen versions on her YouTube too:

Showing some interactive projections at this exhibit in Oslo House tonight, DJs on the roof terrace and art inside, 8 till late

Exhibiting some graphic/projection work at a 10-day exhibition/music events series

Unit31, the independent jazz/hip-hop/electronic venue on Cable St, Limehouse, are leaving their warehouse space after 5+ years.
To mark the change, and the people and scene that made it what it is, they're running series of events from the 6-15th December - daytime photo/interactive exhibitions documenting the culture, nighttime live music and DJ events.
Come check out a piece of East London's music scene before it moves on - I'll be there doing interactive visuals:

*Discount code: U31*

(Check the listings, then come a while before the music starts so you can see the exhibition then the music.)
