The Wayfinder's Ephemera: An Interpretation

The Wayfinder's Ephemera

Digital on Canvas, An Interactive Diorama

At first glance, we are presented with a contained aquatic world, a familiar fishbowl scene. Yet, to look closer is to peer into a diorama of the subconscious, a realm where time and form are fluid. The inhabitants are not common pets but primordial echoes-trilobites, annelids, and other ancient lifeforms rendered in stark, geometric shapes. They move with an instinctual choreography, a flocking algorithm that speaks to the deep, unseen patterns governing all life. They are less creatures of biology and more of mathematics, pure form navigating a digital sea.

Central to the piece is the lone figurine of a deep-sea diver. Clad in a heavy, archaic suit, this figure is a potent symbol of humankind: the explorer, the observer, forever separated from the environment they inhabit by the very technology that allows them to survive within it. The diver is a silent witness, a prisoner of the sublime, unable to directly touch the world they observe. They are a monument to our own beautiful confinement within the laws of nature, a wayfinder who has reached a destination only to find themselves enclosed.

The water itself is the true medium of the piece, representing the ephemeral guide. Its gentle, persistent currents are the invisible forces of fate, memory, and time that direct the lost wayfinder. From the diver-the captive consciousness-periodically escape bubbles of air. These are not mere respiration; they are fleeting thoughts, moments of inspiration, prayers sent upward from the depths. They rise, expand, and vanish, transient messages from the observer to the world outside, each one a fragile hope for transcendence before it dissolves into the vast, indifferent blue.

The Wayfinder's Ephemera is a meditation on the search for meaning in a universe of elegant, cyclical indifference. It is a meta-expression of the human condition: to be both the master of one's small world and a captive within a much larger one, forever sending our fleeting thoughts toward a surface we may never reach. The artist has also created 'The Ephemeral Bloom',

The Ephemeral Bloom


The Ephemeral Bloom - Exhibit Description

The Ephemeral Bloom

About the Work

The Ephemeral Bloom is a dynamic, living installation that explores the profound and cyclical nature of existence. Displayed on the screen is a digital garden, a space where vibrant, geometric flowers emerge from nothingness, flourish in a silent dance of color and light, and gracefully surrender their form in a cascade of falling petals. This is not a static image, but a perpetual, self-renewing performance.

The artwork operates on an autonomous loop, a digital ecosystem with its own sense of time. Once the garden reaches its peak - a moment of collective, radiant beauty, a period of quiet contemplation follows. Then, a carefully choreographed sequence of decay begins. Flower by flower, wave by wave, the garden deconstructs itself, its petals carried away by an unseen breeze. This act of wilting is not presented as an end, but as a necessary and beautiful transition. From the quiet emptiness that follows, a new garden is born, ensuring the cycle of life, death, and rebirth continues indefinitely.

Artist's Statement

"In our pursuit of permanence, we often forget that the most profound beauty is found in the fleeting moment. A flower's peak bloom is beautiful precisely because we know it will not last. This work seeks to capture that transient beauty. Each cycle is a reminder that every ending is also a new beginning, that decay is not a failure but a vital part of renewal. The digital canvas allows us to witness this universal truth unfold in an endless, hypnotic loop, inviting a moment of reflection on the impermanent, yet ever-renewing, world we inhabit - Jimmy Jangles"

Bouncing Bunnies!


Bunny Explosion Exhibit: Bouncing Bunnies

Bouncing Bunnies

Medium: Interactive Digital Animation
Date: 2025

Bouncing Bunnies is a generative artwork that explores the interplay between order, chaos, and consequence within a closed system.

The piece begins with a single, pristine white form—a lone bunny—contained within the stark, geometric confines of a rotating ring. This ring, however, is incomplete, featuring a small gap that represents both a promise of freedom and a source of peril. The bunny’s movement is erratic, its leaps governed by random chance, creating a constant tension between containment and escape.

When a bunny inevitably falls through the gap, the system's core rule is triggered: for each one lost, two more are born in a vibrant, unpredictable splash of color. This simple mechanic initiates a cascade of exponential growth. The serene initial state quickly evolves into a frenetic, joyful explosion of bouncing forms, each new generation adding to the visual complexity and chaotic energy of the piece.

The system's growth is not infinite. Upon reaching a critical mass of one thousand bunnies, the artwork enters its second phase: a period of exodus. Creation ceases, and the population can only dwindle as the bunnies, one by one, find their way out through the same narrow, rotating gap.

Bouncing Bunnies serves as a dynamic meditation on cycles of growth and decay, the consequences of small actions, and the elegant, often overwhelming, complexity that can arise from a simple set of rules. The work is never static; it is a perpetual process of creation, saturation, and renewal, resetting itself only after the last bunny has made its escape, leaving the stage clean for the cycle to begin anew.
