The vibrant, pulsing animation of the leaves is created from video feedback produced by an analog video mixer. By feeding the mixer its own output, flowing, organic patterns emerge in real time. These artifacts are captured, digitized, and recontextualized as the leaves of a solitary tree in a retro-inspired landscape. The interplay between control and emergence is echoed in the structure of the growth simulation. While governed by predefined rules, the tree’s final form is never fully predictable. Each iteration unfolds through a combination of structure and variation, producing forms that feel both intentional and uncontrolled.
