Growth

Growth waits at frame zero until the visitor chooses Begin. Sound starts on; switching it off reveals synchronized captions. It is a three-minute loop of two hollow white contour vessels on black. The large vessel holds hundreds of freely drifting entities, each drawn as a three-stroke triangle. The smaller vessel contains exactly three gold triangles. Eighteen soft collisions transfer scale from the larger vessel to the smaller one. Early contacts pass a slow green, positive response between adjacent entities; repeated exposure shifts affected groups through yellow, orange, and red while the field diminishes. After the final contact, the enlarged vessel absorbs what remains, metabolizes it, then expands beyond the frame before the loop returns through black.

A slow, rubber-like synth pulse runs continuously beneath the synchronized soundtrack, and a deeper swelling tone marks all eighteen contacts. Beginning with contact four, a distant male voice names resource reallocation, service optimization, customer segmentation, recapitalization, financial engineering, de-risking, stakeholder alignment, Value creation, operational efficiency, right-sizing, cost rationalization, workforce optimization, margin expansion, and pricing power. At the final contact, the voice abandons euphemism: suckers, fools, idiots. After a long pause in the voice, one final word arrives as the absorption completes: subscribers.

Soundtrack control. Turning sound off shows synchronized captions automatically; turning it on hides them.
