The 404 Lab

Five takes on a page that isn't there. Each one is a single TSL compute pass — three.js r185, WebGPU with a WebGL2 fallback — pushing tens of thousands of grains under your cursor.

The Darkex mark drawn in white grains

Assembly elegant

The mark gathers itself out of drifting dust; your cursor scatters embers through the line-work.

Grains mid-flight between the mark and 404 glyphs

Inevitable kinetic type

One population of grains, two homes: the mark and the error trade places forever — interfere mid-flight.

404 carved as a void out of a field of dust

Negative Space atmospheric

A slab of fog with the error carved out of it. Stir all you like — the absence stays.

The mark crumbling into falling sand

Crumble physics toy

Brush the mark and it comes apart into falling sand, piles up, then hauls itself back together.

An orange accretion disk around a dark void

Event Horizon cosmic

An accretion disk feeds the hole where the page used to be. The cursor is a second gravity well.
