Each Signal is a complete work of art and sound made in code.
Fragment Lock came apart until what remained held. Golden Angle grew a still life out of the dark.
Sixty seconds each, in an edition of five.
Released Signals are complete works. The Gathered continues to develop. Your Garden piece is made fresh each visit.

Sunflowers and pinecones.
Each sunflower seed sits 137.5° from the last. Each pinecone turns in spirals of 8 and 13. Same numbers, every time: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13.

The Signals.
Sixty seconds of art and sound — distinct works. Fragment Lock is a field of light on a grid of sixty-pixel tiles that bends and comes apart until what remains holds. Golden Angle sets seeds 137.5° apart until the spirals show.

Why the Garden grows The Garden Signal is grown from a seed. Fibonacci numbers become squares; light follows your local hour. Code holds the rule so every visit is exact. Why the Garden Signal The piece that grows for you, below, follows the sunflower: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, each square set against the last, a quarter arc in each. That is the Garden Signal’s rule alone.
Gold at every hour, for the flower that grows toward the sun. Young sunflowers follow the sun by day and turn back east at night. In bloom, they stop turning and face the morning sun. The piece reads your clock the same way, so its light moves through the day with yours.
A composition made over time
The Gathered.
Daily seeds accumulate within a Fibonacci structure, giving the work a visible history. Each day contributes to a larger whole.

Garden Signal
A fresh seed becomes a Fibonacci-square piece, with light set by your local time.
Each seed is one of 4.3 billion. The seed picks a run of Fibonacci numbers, and each number grows as a square, lit by your time of day.

Up to 8 days can be missed inside the 63-day window. The claim is a free certificate of participation, not artwork, token, or ownership.
Today grows one piece. Your days grow The Golden Turn.
Your piece
Every visit grows a new piece from one seed, the number at the top. Names repeat, like a species; the number regrows this exact piece. Its code is your seed's Fibonacci digits. Its form is each number, as a square. The same seed always grows the same piece, fitted to your screen. Its share link shows that piece to anyone.
The same numbers are found in sunflower and pinecone spirals: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…
Here, a new Garden Signal grows from that sequence and a fresh seed every visit. This one grew from your visit. Regrow this
Same seed, same piece. Share the link and anyone can see it.
Lit by the time of day it grew. Four lights, morning, midday, evening and night, set by your clock.
The Signals are separate, finished artworks by @RarePatterns (opens in a new tab). New Signals appear when they are ready. Your piece is drawn in code, made fresh for this visit.

The Golden Turn
Come back tomorrow. Your days grow The Golden Turn.
Day 1 is the gold center, the Origin Eye. Each new day adds a pane, 137.5° from the last, like seeds in a sunflower. At 55 days, it blooms whole.
Each pane grows from a daily seed, one of about 4.3 billion, and your time of day.

02 / About
About RarePatterns
A minute is long enough to find out if it holds.
RarePattern trained as a painter. The artist directs the imagery and sound; both are made in code. That’s the slow part: a rule can look finished for a week with nothing underneath it, and the piece isn’t done until it holds for the whole minute.
The rule is not the art. What makes it art is that someone decided where it stops. Each Signal is sixty seconds of code, sound and art — one complete work.
Fragment Lock came first: a field of light on a grid of sixty-pixel tiles, bending and coming apart until only what holds is left. Golden Angle sets seeds 137.5° apart until the 34 and 55 spirals show. Distinct works. Velocity, from an idea by @solrious (opens in a new tab), is next. Then the next Signal, when it is ready.
Every palette is set by eye before a line of code is written: a few colors, mixed for value and light. Fragment Lock is orange and black. Golden Angle is black, sienna, yellow, the low sun.
The Garden grows a fresh Fibonacci-square piece each visit, lit by your local time. The Gathered is different: daily seeds accumulate into a larger composition over time. Neither is a Signal.
Golden Angle
Years of sunflowers and pinecones, kept in code. Each seed sits about 137.5° from the last and each pinecone turns in spirals of 8 and 13. Golden Angle holds that place: black to grow out of, sienna for the earth, yellow for the flower, orange for the low sun. · Signal page →
Fragment Lock came first and works by another rule: a grid of light coming apart. Same care. Nothing shared but the minute.
