While October is typically synonymous with a certain color palette, we’re choosing to look on the bright side for this month’s Designer Desktop. Designed by New Haven-based new media artist Jason Ting, Hypnoglow washes your screen in a dreamy haze of shifting gradients that feel more like a lucid dream than a haunted house. The wallpaper is actually a snapshot from one of Ting’s generative art experiments – coded animations where form, color, and motion unfold in real time. Hypnoglow captures just one hypnotic frame from a digitally evolving colorscape, freezing a fleeting moment into a desktop that feels alive.
This isn’t Ting’s first exploration of light and motion. In 2020, he began a personal project called Daily Sketches, where he used creative coding tools to produce abstract studies in form, color, and movement – what he describes as “an exploration of an algorithm or aesthetic.” What started as a practice quickly grew into an expansive body of over 2,000 sketches, each one continuing his exploration of what can be made with code. For Ting, generative art isn’t just a formula spitting out results; it’s a process of discovering, as he puts it, “unexpected and beautiful new worlds.”
