Screens that grow by themselves: reaction-diffusion, spirals, fingerprints. No dot ever lands in the same place twice.

01 What it is
A screen that behaves like an organism.
Spora grows a pattern — coral, maze, fingerprint — through reaction-diffusion, the same maths that paints a leopard’s spots. That pattern becomes the screen: in the mid-tones you read its lines, in the darks and lights it breaks into dots.
For portraits that look carved into matter, screen-printed posters, background textures that never repeat, riso prints that breathe.

02 What it can do
01
Fingerprints and mazes
Lines that wander and close in on themselves, tighter in shadow, gone in the light. One ink: the profile reads from afar, the maze reveals itself up close.

02
Spirals
Arms, wrap, direction: the spiral screen turns a photo into op art, Bridget Riley style.
Spirales · grain 1,2
Sepia · duotone
03
Inks
Duotone, CMYK, RGB. Gold ink on night paper, riso blue on cream, cyanotype: colour is part of the style.
04
Landscapes and textures
Meanders, archipelagos, rice fields: on a landscape the screen follows the planes and draws the relief like a map.

02.1 How to get there

Blue Riso, a portrait
A preset, then by hand: the grain, a try that goes too big, a try in spirals, back again. Feeling your way is part of the app.
