Motion reference
Inspiration loop
Intermittent painted plates build the visible orb while leaving the center and large portions of the circumference open.
Reference behavior
Slow plates, generous absences
The visible orb is assembled by intermittent plates. Individual color events breathe; no frame carries the whole composition.
- Outcome
- A timing and negative-space standard
- Scope
- 16.64-second source
What the source established
Color arrives, travels, and leaves
One sample per second exposes the governing qualities: staggered painted events, generous absences, and enough time for each color to register before another plate takes over.
This reference did not ask for a filled sphere or a seamless morph. It asked for a changing assembly of separate watercolor events that imply one orb.
