"Under The City" plays with different kinds of motion from several of my recent pieces. I then peel back the outer layer to find even more motion in the code underneath. My goal was to provide a glimpse into the frenzy of hidden activity below the surface - which has a beauty all its own.

As a generative artist I am fascinated by motion as the direct result of computation. Motion allows us to *see* computation. My coding is done in a visual language called Nodebox which uses wires (nodes and links) instead of words. "Under The City" uses over 44,000 nodes and 60,000 connections.
