Ethan Mollick shared "THE PERIGEE AT SYCAMORE COURT," an interactive WebGL experience generated with Gemini 4 Argon — "a game about Imminence": a vast, unknowable presence lowers itself over a suburban cul-de-sac, evoking the inevitable end of all things without being sad or scary.

Details: 3D WebGL with custom GLSL shaders (clouds "being sorted by refractive index"), generative Lydian soundscape, and gameplay where you tune carrier frequency and phase angle to lock seven unfinished domestic moments to the sky's Perigee chord before 8 PM. Zacharynado's verdict: "it's a beautiful model" — a showcase of Argon's ability to one-shot complex interactive art.
