Temporal Sweep

2024 Procedural animation still 4000 × 3000 px

About this work

Temporal Sweep captures a single frame from a procedural animation in which a form is swept through time using a Trail SOP chain. The resulting image shows motion as a solid — each ghosted position of the form layered into a single composite.

The work is a direct procedural interpretation of Balla's chronophotographic paintings, translating his technique of painting sequential motion into computational geometry.
