Squiggles, crosses, triangles and dots scatter across a loose grid in eighties colours, every piece bobbing and turning on a beat of its own.

Checker Flip Wave
Rings spread from the middle of a checkerboard and every square they reach turns edge-on and comes back the other colour, like a wall of flip-dots.

A Bayer threshold matrix turns a drifting noise field into hard one-bit pixels, so gradients break into the crosshatched grain of an old display.
A triangular grid where every tile turns edge-on and comes back showing its other face, the flips running across the frame on a staggered diagonal.
Four line grids at even angles are cut into squares and thin rhombs, giving an eight-fold tiling that never repeats however far it runs.
Every gap between three touching circles is filled by the one circle that touches all three, over and over, until the whole disc is packed to the grain.
Overlapping shell fans lie in offset courses with rays struck across each one, and a diagonal wave lifts them course by course like a gilded ceiling.
A seeded board runs the neighbour rules forward generation by generation, then plays the whole run backwards so the loop closes exactly.
Two families of cord cross the frame on the diagonal, alternating course by course so one set rides over the other the way knotwork is drawn.
