a few ways in

This is an open-ended field of Dylan van Dael’s work. Each visit begins with a new seed; the drawing continues as you move through it.

tab / enter

Focus project markers and open their projects.

sound on

Hear the drawing play a little garden-synth tune: the leading line sings a gliding melody, the bass bounces along, soft chords hold it together and marks pop like bubbles. Hover a project to hear its motif.

leave it be

When nothing is hovered, fine filaments slowly branch out from the lines like a fungal network. They pause while you hover a project, and resume when you let go.

There are seven documented works and project fragments. They recur across the generated field; new sectors do not represent additional projects. Colored paths represent shared sound, image, or object relationships. Yellow paths connect visual worlds; black paths extend the field. Each connection is drawn in a single continuous stroke as you explore.

The independent prototype uses credited images from Dutch Design Week. Each project includes its source. Sound is made from four supplied audio recordings, used as soft swells under synthesized voices that follow the drawing; it is not presented as a recording of these projects. No fabricated artworks or live performance data.
