SID (SERENDIPITOUS INSPIRATION DEPOT)

A web-based tool for encountering texts and images through chance rather than search.
In the spirit of Oblique Strategies and the I Ching, it uses randomness to spark clarity or disruption.

SID’s identity emerges from same visual language used to reveal its contents.
Unicode block characters (░ ▒ ▓) function as placeholders during typing states in text mode and reappear as structural elements in image reveal animations.

Image mode draws from a dedicated Are.na channel, allowing the image library to grow organically over time. Images can be added to the depot without redeploying or reauthoring the system.
