𝑳𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒅 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒚

++++IMPORTANT: Activate Advanced Mode in OBJKT++++

𝑳𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒅 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒚 is an interactive exploration of water, light, and language. Blending generative soundscapes with custom WebGL shaders, the piece transforms a standard display into a responsive liquid mirror. Using computer vision (ml5.js), the canvas reacts to the poetry of human gesture: viewers can physically splash the water, stretch optical vortices with their hands, shatter floating typography, and freeze the screen solid simply by opening their mouths. It is a living, breathing fusion of creative coding and interactive art.

Visual Synthesis: Custom WebGL shaders calculate reaction-diffusion frost, chromatic aberration, and elastic fluid displacement to create a highly realistic, refractive liquid surface.

Gestural Interaction: Powered by ml5.js (HandPose & FaceMesh), the piece tracks complex movements. Users can trigger water ripples via finger pinches, manipulate a dual-handed spatial vortex, and induce a freezing effect by opening their mouths.

Physical Typography: Generative poetry floats within the liquid, acting as physical particles that shatter and disperse upon collision with the user's hand coordinates.

Generative Audio: A fully integrated Tone.js synthesizer engine generates dynamic arpeggios and acoustic drops mapped directly to the kinetic energy and span of the user's movements, turning the visual interactions into a cohesive musical performance.

                       Poco a poco empiezo a sentir mi cuerpo:
                       las manos titilan luz,
                       el pecho que fustiga la penumbra con sus mares,
                       el iris del tercer ojo enganchado al origen
                       de este cuerpo que flota   cuerpo para hundirse
                       lleno de letras los huesos poderosos,
                       la lengua amanecida por venganza,
                       la oreja llena de olas desmedidas,
                       la entrepierna enjoyada con luces salvajes,

                       y un dios despertando en el ombligo,

                       este cuerpo de niño que crece pasando planetas,
                       cuerpo de bestia pues
                       que se asoma para no pensarlo demasiado

                       qué poca atención al cuerpo masticado
                       y su relación con la luz,

                       ahora encantado estoy
                       con el milagro y el misterio;
