Falling Falling

Endlessly falling psychedelic animation that responds to your scroll speed.
Falling Falling is a web artwork by Rafael Rozendaal from 2011, with code by Reinier Feijen and sound by gloumouth1. The page is a single piece of art meant to be experienced in a browser, in the artist's spare, minimal style.
Rozendaal makes a series of artworks that each live at their own web address, which collectors can own while keeping them public for everyone. It is a short, quiet visit, best with the sound on, and a good introduction to web-native art.
Why it is useful
Pure internet art — an infinite geometric tunnel that changes color and speed as you scroll. No purpose, no end state, just a hypnotic experience that somehow never gets old. One of the canonical examples of the web as an artistic medium.
