Phosphor Signal

Letters as disturbances in a signal. A little light, a little noise.

About the piece

The letters aren't painted on top. Their outlines bend the horizontal scanlines, and the parts of each line inside a letter glow brighter. Brightness drifts across the field; occasional spikes interrupt the signal.

The headers on this site are smaller instances of the same experiment. This is the space to play with it.

Reduced-motion preferences are respected. You can also pause the animation and keep shaping a still image.
