Also he published some full tutorials that are more conceptual, which you can find here: https://bleuje.com/tutorials/

I found the tutorials had a lot of awesome ideas (like traversing 4d noise for a seamless loop!) which I ended up playing with in my own projects. I don't use processing like he does, but all the tutorials are very easy to understand even if that's not your tool of choice.

He was an Apple Registered developer, and we'd see him walking around the WWDC, in the '90s.

we had a big glass lens we'd place on the monitor to project it onto a ceiling.

A while ago after being impressed by shadertoy I've built a website (now offline) with a shader as a background using Tree.js [2]. The website was showing caustics - constantly-changing ridges of light produced on the bottom of the pool/lake/sea when light passes through the waves (similar to [3]). People visiting it were always assuming those are pre-rendered videos and were genuinely surprised that their N-years old phone is capable of running that shader in real-time flawlessly.

Also study the code of other animations to learn the general ideas and patterns.

P.S. You can even check out how author's animations increase in complexity over time by changing year and month manually (or finding the full list of videos in one of the js files). Great work!

Besides him, I used to follow Pi-Slices, with a somewhat similar style: https://pislices.art/GIFShttps://pi-slices.tumblr.com/archive
