THE LAB

Tinker's Test Kitchen

Experiments, original worlds, strange systems and creative technology. This is where curiosity outranks the brief.

01 · WORLDBUILDING

Absolute Bank of Karma

A supernatural finance universe built from narrative systems, character design, AI-assisted visual development and motion.

02 · GENERATIVE

AI as a Creative Material

Not prompt galleries—experiments in direction, iteration, systems, characters and production workflows.

↓ EXPERIMENTS BELOW
03 · MOTION / INTERACTIVE

Things That Move

Motion, web experiments, data, interaction and prototypes that explore what happens when the tool becomes part of the idea.

LIVE EXPERIMENTS / NETWORKED MATERIAL

The internet is material.

Three small systems that borrow from live public data, recombine it, and occasionally make fun of office life.

01 / SEARCH RESIDUE
Seven searches become one image.
Seven live trend terms are paired with associated encyclopedia imagery. Each layer enters at 75% opacity, multiplies into the last, and grows by the golden ratio until search intent becomes visual residue.
LIVE
Live source strategy: Google Trends terms when available; associated lead imagery from Wikipedia. If a live feed refuses the browser request, the piece falls back gracefully rather than disappearing.
02 / AFFECTIVE SPLIT
Love // Hate
Two evolving editorial collages built from opposing, deliberately PG-13 vocabularies. The source images are live; the emotional taxonomy is curated.
HATE
LOVE
03 / STRATEGIC SLOTH
Corporate wisdom. Very slowly.
A live sloth-image meme generator for those moments when “quick change” means six more rounds.
Live sloth imagery from Wikipedia/Wikimedia sources. Captions are locally generated corporate satire.
Change is the only constant.
