Chaos Studies

Strange attractors are shapes that exist only in motion. Deterministic yet unpredictable, they never repeat and never escape.

Three differential equations and a curiosity about what chaos actually looks like. The Playdate is where it found its proper form.

Turn the crank and a chaotic system rotates in your hand. An original dynamic soundtrack moves with it, composed on a Teenage Engineering OP-XY — fittingly, the studio that designed the Playdate.

The mathematics becomes something you can hold in your hands.

Nine systems are included, each set of equations producing a different geometry. Some feel calm. Others feel restless.

No score. No puzzle. No goal. Just a chaotic system, a crank, and whatever you bring to it.
