The name refers to ecstatic dance, in which the dancer enters a trance and loses track of time and a sense of the self. I want the viewer to lose themselves in all the nooks and crannies of color and texture. If one were to dance this art, it would be flowing, twisting, joyful, and energetic. I released a version of this called “Surrender to the Dance” on fxhash in December 2023, but apparently priced it too high, so I wanted to try again with a curated collection. Made with p5js, with a grain shader by Dave Pagurek & Gorilla Sun. After clicking full screen, “save as” will give you a 4950 x 6600px png.
