BLAZE

BLAZE is a collection of browser-based generative artworks that unfold as live systems rather than fixed media. Each work creates itself directly in the viewer’s browser, adapting to different screen sizes, aspect ratios, and orientations while continuing without loop or endpoint. The project treats abstraction as an active process, using code to produce images that remain in motion and never resolve into a single final state.

The collection extends Alex May’s wider interest in memory, time, and technological mediation through a more overtly generative form. The title comes from the idea that time is a slow fire, and the works use that premise to think about duration as continual transformation rather than simple progression. Built from techniques developed through works such as Shadows of Light and the ongoing Algorithmic Photography series, BLAZE turns those methods toward live abstraction and collector-facing browser art.
