Choreomoiré pays homage to early animation and optical art techniques through a contemporary digital lens. Inspired by a 1950s educational film reel about animation principles, the piece features three circular moiré patterns performing a synchronized dance against a rich crimson background. The aesthetic deliberately evokes the look of mid-century educational and scientific films, complete with film grain and rounded corners.

The moiré patterns are created through the precise overlay of concentric circles, creating a hypnotic visual effect that was often used in early motion graphics and experimental animation. The piece explores how simple geometric patterns can create complex visual rhythms and apparent motion through careful choreography.

Technical Implementation

The visualization combines several vintage and modern techniques:

• Precise geometric generation of concentric circle patterns
• Controlled pattern interference to create moiré effects
• Film grain and vignette simulation
• Rounded corner masking to emulate vintage projection frames

The movement is carefully timed to create smooth transitions between different moiré states, while maintaining the authentic feel of mid-century educational films. The monochromatic red palette enhances the vintage aesthetic while allowing the subtle pattern interactions to take center stage.
