A 100 × 100 grid of tiled digital rain — six stream styles, six terminal palettes, flicker, glitch, and data overlays. Between terminal and textile.
For fashion houses, textile studios and surface designers. Each composition is generated from a numeric seed and can be licensed, adapted or commissioned to your brief.
A stream of data, frozen mid-fall, becomes a surface with its own code.
I am an Iranian-born artist working at the intersection of digital aesthetics and generative systems. My work begins with a simple observation: the falling stream — patterned, rhythmic, infinitely variable — has always been a form of computation, long before computers.
Matrix Rain renders a 100 × 100 grid of tiled digital rain. Each composition picks one of six stream styles — classic vertical, diagonal, wave, concentric, binary, or particle — and one of six terminal palettes — classic green, blue, cyan, purple, red alert, or white/gray. Every lit cell draws its own stream column, its own character head, its own brightness gradient.
On top of the rain, a series of effects are optionally layered: scanlines, flicker, horizontal and vertical glitch bands, pixel glitches, a digital overlay of katakana and Latin characters, and a blinking cursor. The result sits between cathode-ray terminal and textile repeat. Each piece is defined by a numeric seed and can be regenerated, documented, and adapted for print, textile, and surface applications.
The same seed, presented as an archival print — and applied across fabric, scarf, textile and wall surfaces without loss of structure.
Every surface below is drawn from the same numeric seed — its repeat, orientation and scale adapted to the material, while the underlying structural logic remains identical.
Each seed picks one of six stream styles: classic vertical, diagonal, wave, concentric, binary, or particle. Every style uses a different math rule to decide which cells fall — sine waves, radial fields, thresholded binaries, or particle interference patterns.
Six terminal palettes are available: classic green, blue, cyan, purple, red alert, and white/gray. Each palette pairs a dark background triple with four bright foreground triples at slightly shifted hue, saturation, and brightness — so every cell picks a different shade of the same family.
On top of the rain, a series of optional effects are layered: scanlines, flicker, horizontal and vertical glitch bands, pixel glitches, and a digital overlay of katakana and Latin characters. The glitch is enabled at ~60% probability per seed, and the flicker at ~3% per cell.
Matrix Rain is a generative design system rather than a single artwork. Its digital-rain language can be adapted for fashion, textile development and other surface-oriented contexts — while maintaining a computational origin.
Each surface is drawn from the same numeric seed — reproducible, licensable, adaptable to your brief.
