I keep coming back to the idea that every photo has films hidden inside it~ so i built Latent. Drop in a photograph and it develops through the eyes of seven cinematographers. Same subject + composition, different soul ↓ It's running @bfl_ai's FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] on @fal, upscaled 4× with AuraSR for hi-res export. Shipped in a weekend. Still can't stop playing with it, dm if you'd like to try

I built the website as an interface, not a page. The navigation is orbital and each section is a glyph in a radial layout. There's chrome hue shifts as you move around, and a wordmark that assembles itself on load. My thinking was that a publishing house with roots in experimental hardware doesn't get a hero image and a scroll. It gets something that behaves like a device.

New work for Dirt Books [@dirtyverse] @topiary_tacl was brought in to develop a brand identity and website for a publishing house from the future, with roots in both print and experimental hardware. The identity is gummy flavored and highlight-rich. The glyphs are blobby, the type is a fever dream of script and serif, and the whole thing genuinely wants to be touched ~ Read more ⬇️
