As one of my contributions to “failing to satisfy the standards of either field” (math, astrophysics, or fine art), I wonder whether you would love or hate https://www.ouruboroi.com

I like generative art! And that seems interesting! But it seems totally broken on my computer - it flashes with random frames at 6k jump days for a few seconds then stops. The stop button does nothing, there's no way to restart it, the cursor can't be modified, etc.
I assume it'd be a smoother animation at a smaller number of jump days, I'd like to see that.
Edit: I finally got it working by changing the parameters, going to the order page, then clicking on the qr link. I did it with 1 jump day. But it still flashes like crazy (colors inverting ever frame) and there's massive moire patterns, among the low resolution and other graphical glitches. I think the idea is cool so I'd like to see something more fleshed out. Is this something you could do on e.g. shadertoy?

Or this, the uroboros quine. Which I think is for sure art.
