Rings¹⁰

Iridescent tori that turned into a typeface. The tube first flew a closed circuit, then wrapped glyph outlines so the camera could thread a word letter by letter, then became liquid enough to melt one letter into the next. The last few hand the outline samples over as draggable handles and let scripted cursors deform the word for you.

Iridescent tori seen from inside the circuit, one filling the frame as the camera threads it, on black.
