Xookt navigates a contradiction : its process is marked by maximalism, while its presentation is intentionally reductive. Vivid and grotesque color and form are cooked down into a cluster of degraded pixels.

The works are outcomes of a diverse sequence of processes, including 3D modelling, fluid simulation, high-resolution imagery, animation, AI, and web shaders, deconstructing and reconstructing visual elements to form a hybrid of image and shader.

Deliberate image degradation is succeeded by reconstruction through scanlines that activate feedback shaders and induce reductive pixelation, obscuring and revealing the underlying web browser native artwork.

The resulting outputs possess a fluid, rhythmic quality akin to geological strata formation and 8-bit fluid dynamics.
