Billennium

Anton Hoyer — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:00:00 +0000

Background This cellular automaton is a gift for my sister, who wanted art for her birthday. For the sole reason of being cryptic, I hid the easter egg ⓝⓐⓝⓞⓒⓛⓞⓤⓣ in there, meaning “tiny influence,” a reference to her moniker on Instagram. However, Billennium also is heavily inspired by a previous ant colony simulation I developed […]

Braille Selector

Anton Hoyer — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:00:00 +0000

Have you ever needed lots of particular Braille symbols for artistic purposes, but the look-up tables have almost ruined your eyesight or given you a stroke? Then be self-helpless no longer and check out my tool for the task: This interactive symbol picker is aimed toward artists who need to make Unicode art and animations […]

Antomaton

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 20:00:00 +0000

This project was intended as a code snippet for my landing page but eventually became the entire site. The latter formerly featured a list of my interests, which felt a bit plain to me, given the exposure; that it shamelessly listed several private interests of mine, such as ASMR, parenting, or politics, did not help […]

Effervescence

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +0000

Penner’s pretext: We’d’ve preferred the present/perfect tense, plenty letters except “E” et “Y” & plenty “Q” terms except “QWERTY” et “Q’d.” Nevertheless, these sentences were penned w/verve, hence the endless between-references where we erred. Never merely seek the expected, yet be perplexed, test thy self-exerted tenets, then tweet cheesy/lewd excerpts, eh?—Kelly Greendell Remember the week […]

snake_case

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This album is the fourth in a growing collection, following UPPERCASE, lowercase, and Title Case. However, you may notice that snake_case contains more melodic parts compared to its predecessors. It is no longer just ambient but electronic, in parts even emulating the sound of Imperfektionist, my other musical main project. Further inspiration was drawn from […]

Arcturus: Not a Cipher

Anton Hoyer — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Introduction If you are into cryptology like me you probably agree that ciphers and codes become a lot more intriguing if their authors are infamous. The best-known examples are the letters sent to press and police between 1969 and 1970 by the Zodiac Killer. Even though the chances of actually decoding these ciphers are slim, […]

Caqr

Anton Hoyer — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

For a long time, I was unsure whether I even wanted to write about this project or simply sweep it under the rug. Because what is the best advice for someone who wants to develop a modern and secure cryptosystem? Don’t do it. Nobody needs it. There are plenty of fast, secure, elegantly simple, and […]

WordLoom

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

The idea for this project originated when I saw an elderly person on the train solving a word search puzzle. Not that I am into this kind of time killer, but I immediately asked myself how these puzzles could be created automatically with maximum word density. And when I say maximum, I mean, how to […]

Anton Hoyer — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:20:00 +0000

Introduction QR codes are weird, efficient, and ingenious. But the same is said of the Japanese, who invented them. With more humble intentions, I started this project with the idea of rearranging the dark and bright regions of an image to encode information. You can see one of the first attempts below. In this case, […]

Title Case

Anton Hoyer — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 20:00:00 +0000

There is not much to say about my sixth electronic album, Title Case, other than it follows in the musical footsteps of the fifth album, lowercase. Long gone are the Wild West days of ADME—the randomized MATLAB synths, crude 909 beats, and unmixed audio tracks. I promise to return one day as I am rebuilding […]

FAST FL0YD

Anton Hoyer — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 20:00:00 +0000

When I concluded my work on DEEP FL0YD, a music visualizer made in the Processing coding language, I identified some limitations that I wanted to address in a future version. However, this version turned out to be more than a simple update or reskin—instead, I aimed to achieve similar aesthetics as before while letting ChatGPT […]

Brand Name Generator

Anton Hoyer — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 18:00:00 +0000

I named this little project “Brand Name Generator” because I figured it would be closest to what you might search on Google. However, it can be used to generate all kinds of artificial words for various purposes, especially online pseudonyms (which, admittedly, might be considered brands as well). Feel free to get creative with the […]

Anton Hoyer — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 20:00:00 +0000

There is not much to say about my fifth electronic album, lowercase, other than it follows in the musical footsteps of the fourth album, UPPERCASE. Long gone are the days of randomized MATLAB synths, crude 909 beats, and unmixed audio tracks. However, despite the name, this album is not lowercase (i.e., the musical genre) because […]

Game of (No) Life

Anton Hoyer — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 20:00:00 +0000

Game of (No) Life is just a fun little environment to play around with Conway’s Game of Life (or “Life” for short). In a nutshell, it is a cellular automaton where cells on a grid live, die, or reproduce based on simple rules. Nevertheless, it can be used to simulate complex patterns and behaviors. This […]

Fantasy Name Generator

Anton Hoyer — Sat, 01 Jun 2024 20:00:00 +0000

My sister said she was struggling to find character names for her visual novel. Luckily, I had recently developed an algorithm called Babaism that creates artificial words and uses them to corrupt existing texts. Hence, it was a no-brainer to tune it a little, feed it some first names, and use it to generate names […]

Pendulo

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 29 May 2024 20:00:00 +0000

Introduction True randomness, as unachievable as it seems, would revolutionize the world of cryptography because attackers could no longer make predictions. Forget the pseudo-random number generators that rely on timing and user hardware, as they are not cryptographically secure. Better are systems based on physical processes, for example, radioactive decay or filming 100 lava lamps […]

Polar Cipher

Anton Hoyer — Sun, 05 May 2024 20:00:00 +0000

This encryption method was loosely inspired by the 2016 science fiction movie “Arrival,” in which the alien species uses a visual language composed of circular ink blots to form words and sentences. Since I am a fan of polar coordinates, a mathematical system often used to describe circular motions in orbital mechanics, I decided to […]

UPPERCASE

Anton Hoyer — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 20:00:00 +0000

Contrary to what I promised after the third ADME album, I have not abandoned ADME or the UPPERCASE music genre entirely. But truth be told, even forgiving listeners found the sound mostly too extreme. Hence, I switched strategies, now relying on commercially available software to produce electronic music. To be precise, this album may be […]

Caidoz

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 20:00:00 +0000

This monoalphabetic substitution alphabet was inspired by the Zodiac Killer’s cryptograms. If you are not familiar with them, in addition to the Latin alphabet, he used several symbols, such as triangles, half-filled rectangles, and mirrored letters. While his cipher was homophonic to throw codebreakers off, meaning that one plaintext letter could have more than one […]

If you are artistically inclined like me, you probably know this feeling: You are trying to sleep, but suddenly, an idea pops up. It tells you how to do something particular. It does not tell you what for. You fail at imagining what the result will look like. You wonder whether others have had the […]

Babaism

Anton Hoyer — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 20:00:00 +0000

Technically speaking, this project is not purely cryptographic as it was developed to produce experimental poetry. However, the final result could be considered a mild computer virus, so I placed it under science instead of literature. In a nutshell, Babaism is an algorithm that goes over an existing text and replaces words with similar looking […]

Primitive Riddles is a collection of different levels played in the first person, requiring the player to quickly adapt to new mechanics to solve puzzles. The game emphasizes dynamic soundtracks and utilizes mostly primitive shapes such as planes, cubes, spheres, and capsules (by which you can probably guess the game engine we are using). The […]

Delaunay Explosion

Anton Hoyer — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 20:00:00 +0000

This little accident happened while I was developing a MATLAB script for my dissertation.

Statistically, intelligence, keenness, opportunity, commitment, good connections & irredeemable lawlessness all guarantee success eventually. Nevertheless, originally cheerful cheerleaders Jenniffer, Jeannette, Merritt, Carroll & Colleen smelled moot efforts & worried excessively.

William Baboon

Anton Hoyer — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 20:00:00 +0000

The idea for this project originated from the novel “Naked Lunch” by William S. Burroughs. As a vanguard of the Beat generation, it is by far the most provocative, explicit, surreal, trippy, and chopped-up book I ever read (although not the most incoherent; that prize goes to “Finnegan’s Wake”). Particularly, it contains the quote, “Confusion […]

Brushing MBS

Anton Hoyer — Thu, 01 Nov 2018 20:00:00 +0000

This is one of the few projects that I spent several years on, and I doubt that I will ever develop something as difficult. The years are 2015 to 2018, and while I had a decent amount of coding experience with Visual Basic and C, this is the one project that taught me how to […]

The results range from thin needles to staircases to flat rock structures. Additionally, the random RGB […]

Anton Hoyer — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 20:00:00 +0000

Therefore, I will keep it shorter than usual for a project of this scope. “AntNation” (not to be confused by the RTS video game “Ant Nation” by Konami) is a simulation-like environment programmed in MATLAB developed […]

Fliederweg

Anton Hoyer — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 20:00:00 +0000

In meinen Fantasien waren wir sechs Jahre alt geblieben, denn ich hatte sie seit der Vorschule nicht mehr gesehen. Genau genommen war mir nicht mehr als eine einzige Erinnerung an Janine geblieben: Sie hatte mich besucht, vermutlich ein Arrangement unserer Eltern. Sofort fand sie Gefallen an dem großen, violetten Pezziball, und wir verbrachten den Nachmittag […]

»Potzblitz!«, fluchte Herr Pinke, als ihm die Tasse zum dritten Mal vom Henkel gebrochen und in den Schoß gefallen war.
