About

HadeanEon is an interactive, browser-native artwork that depicts the transformation of early Earth during the Hadean Eon.

The Hadean Eon spans from Earth's formation roughly 4.6 billion years ago to approximately 4 billion years ago. It was an era of unimaginable violence: planetary collisions, magma oceans, and bombardment from space. And yet, from this apparent chaos emerged the conditions for everything that followed: atmosphere, water, and eventually, life.

This piece is built entirely in the browser using WebGL and procedural shader mathematics. There are no pre-rendered images. Every visual element (the molten sphere, the fracturing crust, the atmospheric veil, the particle field) is generated in real-time by code.

The creative thesis is simple: great things can come from apparent nothingness.

Sound and light are equal partners. The audio drives the visuals: low frequencies pulse the magma, mid-range stirs the atmosphere, high frequencies sparkle at the edges. The experience is authored as a sequence of chapters: Infall, Furnace, Cooling, Veil, Threshold, Witness. Each one a transformation.
