Still Night: Play Van Gogh's Starry Night as a WebGL Instrument

Van Gogh's Starry Night, rebuilt as a point cloud you can play. Touch a bright swirl and it answers high; the dark hills drop low. Brushstrokes drift along Van Gogh's own paths, and five regions form a Tone.js orchestra. You play the painting to make the music.

Still Night: Play Van Gogh's Starry Night as a WebGL Instrument captured as a WebGL / WebGPU community feature.

The project is collected here for the same reason the best browser graphics work keeps spreading: it makes the GPU visible through a concrete interface, not a lecture. The result feels inspectable, fast, and specific to the web.
