Hello, Blob. (A Brief Encounter With Abstract Life)




Out in some math-born corner of the void, the Blobs float.


They spin. Pulse. Change color like they’re listening to music only they can hear.


Once in a while, a presence enters their realm. A viewer. A traveler. You.


The Blobs notice. They shimmer, respond.


They spin brighter, move with more purpose, like they’re dancing just for you.


This little animation started as a whim. I wrote it in Python with Processing. Just a way to make something move, something abstract.


But once the Blobs showed up, they didn’t want to leave.


And if you watch long enough, you might feel them watching back.
