Hand-built, self-animating SVGs — each drawn from scratch with only inline CSS and SMIL. No libraries, no build step. All motion respects prefers-reduced-motion.
A synthwave cabinet in attract mode: a horned pixel rune-knight with a glowing rune-sword on a scrolling neon grid, beneath a setting synth-sun, wrapped in CRT scanlines and a blinking PRESS START. Every pixel drawn cell-by-cell.
The serpent that devours its own tail, coiled around an alchemical engine: a seed-of-life and Solomon's hexagram counter-rotating about an Ethereum-Ξ core, block-nodes riding the scaled ring, and a hash-glyph litany streaming the perimeter. Alchemy as consensus.
The Norse world-tree as a living network. Data rises as light from the roots through the Well of Urd, sap climbs the branching paths, and nine runic leaf-nodes pulse in the canopy beneath a drifting aurora.
A brass clockwork astrolabe: twelve zodiac houses turning on the outer wheel, tilted armillary hoops, and six planets on phased orbits around a radiant sun-sigil, swept by a slow index arm.
The rainbow bridge itself — seven prismatic bands arcing from the shore of Midgard to the golden spires of Asgard, light sweeping across the span, runes lit along the crown, and travellers crossing beneath a drifting aurora. The gallery's own origin, drawn at last.
The three Fates at their loom of light. A flying shuttle crosses the luminous warp while the cloth of wyrd — woven through with runes — scrolls down onto the roller, and three counter-turning spindle-stars (Urðr, Verðandi, Skuld) pay out the thread from above.
A bind-rune casts itself: staves of Tiwaz, Ansuz, Kenaz, Laguz and Gebo draw in stroke by stroke at the heart of two counter-turning rings of the twenty-four Elder Futhark, sparks arcing between them over a pulsing well of light.
A tokamak reimagined as alchemy: plasma currents circulate a brass containment torus ringed by eight D-shaped field coils, magnetic arcs flicker inward, and a faceted philosopher's-stone core burns at the center, marked with the Ethereum-Ξ. Sibling to the Ouroboros Engine.
The alchemist's bench at work: a lit furnace warms a round-bottomed retort of green elixir, its vapour feeding a condenser that drips the distillate into a receiving flask, while the four element sigils turn below a Sol-and-Luna marriage crowned with sulphur.
The ancient bronze computer of the heavens. Four aged gears intermesh and drive one another — each counter-turning against its neighbour at a speed set by its size — behind an engraved zodiac dial where pointers sweep a Metonic spiral. Clockwork where the Orrery is celestial.
The Kabbalistic Tree: ten luminous sephirah from Keter to Malkuth, ranged on the three pillars and joined by all twenty-two paths, with the lightning-flash of creation forking down the emanations and Da'ath turning, hidden, at the abyss. A hermetic sibling to Yggdrasil.
Odin's ravens — Thought and Memory — beat their wings in orbit around a carved runestone whose glyphs glow with rune-light, trailing wisps of teal and violet beneath a gibbous moon. The gallery's first creatures, drawn feather-silhouette by silhouette.
