WELCOME TO YORDANOS’ EXPERIMENTAL PLAYGROUND
The Spatial Mind
Role: Creative Director & Technologist
Insight: Spatial Cognition. Translating cognitive theory into spatial design. Rather than a standard portfolio, this environment acts as a living map of the creative process. It separates the analytical from the artistic, allowing users to explore the distinct architectures of the left and right brain before seeing how their intersection drives true, multidisciplinary innovation.
Execution: Engineered a non-linear, WebGL-powered spatial interface using Three.js and Gemini, turning abstract cognitive processes into a tangible, explorable digital space.
The Newton’s Cradle
Role: Creative Director & Technologist
Insight: How do we give physical weight to a digital space? This experiment reimagines the iconic Newton’s Cradle as a tangible, multisensory playground. By removing the barrier of the mouse and keyboard, it allows users to reach directly into the browser. Through computer vision, natural hand gestures dictate digital physics and trigger audio, turning the user into the catalyst for the simulation.
Execution: Engineered a high-fidelity WebGL experience combining Three.js, MediaPipe, and Tone.js on Gemini. Maintained high-end aesthetics—complete with real-time shadows and complex material shaders—without sacrificing browser performance.
The Sonic Archive
Role: Creative Director & Technologist
Insight: Curation is a ritual. Moving away from generic, platform-agnostic players, this experiment treats digital audio with the reverence of a live broadcast. It brings the tactile sensation of the DJ booth to the browser, creating a bespoke environment where the visual atmosphere elevates the perceived value of the sound and allows the creator to truly own the airwaves.
Execution: Engineered a state management system that fluidly transitions between complex musical progressions—from Dreamy Lo-Fi to Ethiopian Jazz—while maintaining perfect tempo and zero-latency responsiveness.
The Nostalgia Engine
Role: Creative Director & Technologist
Insight: This project bridges the gap between modern browser capabilities and classic interaction design. The interface demands tactile engagement—pressing "Select" to load a memory, physically sliding the grid to reconstruct it—turning the user into an active participant rather than a passive scroller.
Execution: Engineered a tactile, Canvas-powered game interface using JavaScript and Gemini, turning static user-uploaded photos into a dynamic, playable nostalgic experience.
