What is nine moths?
nine moths is an interactive animation made in response to an artist’s real life experience: “I went walking in the gardens at school today and I saw some of those white moths that are everywhere. I thought I would try to make some of my own, and here they are …  Just a bunch of numbers and mathematics. There's a lot of randomness mixed in to get that moth-like jitteriness, which I think came out pretty well.”

What can we do with it?
nine moths captures the simplicity and beauty of some often ignored real life creatures. Use your mouse to attract the moths away from the light source.
