THE EXPERIMENT:
- A series of nested shapes were creating by using the “~” key while drawing each shape, which leaves a trail of multiple copies. In this case, hexagons and 20-pointed stars.
- These shapes were all given black–>white gradients, and put on a gradient background.
- Transparency of each shape cluster set to “Lighten”.
- Viola… instant hauntology. This looks like something H.P. Lovecraft would see under an electron microscope.
