Emanations of Grace

Generative animation, 2026

Bridging art-historical memory with computational fluid dynamics, this real-time generative installation traces iconic hand gestures drawn from classical masterpieces—from the divine spark of Michelangelo to timeless expressions of compassion, wisdom, and interior grace.

Utilizing a 3D-animated digital model processed through real-time particle systems in VVVV, the work externalizes invisible psychic and spiritual states. Streams of light, feedback loops, and surrounding ripples transform the historical gesture into an emanation of living energy. Here, code and luminous particles reveal a hidden aura, turning the computational screen into a modern vessel of transmission and resonance.
