A browser extension designed to create moments of pause within the hyper-connected world.

At 16 open tabs it covers the page with a generative field that drifts like clouds and changes colour like daylight. It borrows the idea of Temporary Autonomous Zones: a short time out of time inside the attention economy.

The field runs on Perlin noise across a grid. [enter] and [leave] control it, and any moment can be saved as a snapshot. To get back to browsing, you close tabs.

Shown in the PCD25@Porto "Sense of Wonder" online exhibition.
