PURE CURIOSITY

Lab

  1. Obsidian shards burst outward from a dark X-shaped form, lit by warm gold light from the upper left.

    This site

    How xandersimms.art was made: a prerendered static build, every page real HTML, every claim tied to a source file, and a build that refuses to ship an unsourced line. The mark at the end is one generated take of obsidian shards, scrubbed by your scroll.

    Made withSeedance 2.5 via Higgsfield (the shards take)

  2. A black marble scarab with gold-inlaid seams stands on a dark stone plinth against a black background.
    Scarab Engine
    A faceted bust of a woman with closed eyes, cut from smoky crystal veined with gold light, on black.
    Crystal Mind
    A dark tower on a rocky shore sends a thin beam of gold light up into storm clouds, mirrored in still water.
    Signal Tower

    Studies

    Object studies in obsidian and gold, made for an earlier prototype of this site: Scarab Engine, Crystal Mind, Signal Tower.

  3. A letterpress-style title page in navy and red on cream reading “Pride and Prejudice; or, The Token Usage.” by Xander Simms, with a quill and inkwell above the line 2,300,000 tokens, 3,696 messages, 7 sessions.
    A matching title page reading “Moby-Dick; or, The Token Usage.” by Xander Simms, with a navy whale above red waves and the line 480,200 tokens, 744 messages, 2 sessions.
    A separate 480,200-token run.

    The Token Usage

    Letterpress-style title pages that measure an AI coding run against a classic novel: 2,300,000 tokens, 3,696 messages, 7 sessions.

    Made withClaude Code (the run measured)

  4. Nine versions of one faceted glass perfume bottle on a green-lit grid floor, arranged three by three from the widest landscape format to the tallest vertical format.

    One in, nine out

    One product hero in, nine platform-native ratios out: the second run of a variant pipeline, this time on a product instead of a face. An R&D run, not a deployed engine, and not Adobe work.

    Made withAdobe Firefly tools through an MCP connector in Claude Code

  5. Persistent Cinematic Systems

    Identity, layout and style set once, then carried through an agent-built video. By my own estimate, it replaced 8–10 hours of traditional production.
