Meet Pulsefield — Where News Becomes Living Art 🎨

What if the endless scroll of news could be transformed into something beautiful, immersive, and meaningful? That’s the idea behind Pulsefield — a real-time, AI-powered “living canvas” that turns headlines into a dynamic, breathing art piece. Instead of flat lists or articles, you get floating, glowing orbs that pulse, shift, cluster, and dance — visualizing the world’s news as living, evolving patterns. henzi.org

🌐 What Is Pulsefield?

• Pulsefield grabs news from major sources around the world and feeds them into an AI pipeline based on GPT‑OSS 120b. henzi.org

• The AI groups related news stories into “topic clusters,” then renders each cluster as a 3D blob. henzi.org

• The blobs behave organically — they grow and shrink depending on how many stories cover a topic, pulse when breaking news hits, attract or repel each other based on topic similarity, and change color based on sentiment (e.g. greens/blues for positive, reds for more serious or negative news). henzi.org

• Interacting with the blobs reveals more details: you can hover or tap to see the sentiment breakdown, the volume of coverage, and click through to view the underlying headlines. henzi.org

🛠️ The Tech Behind the Magic

Pulsefield isn’t just art — it's a fully engineered real-time system that blends data processing, machine learning, and interactive 3D graphics.

It’s a passion project by Joe Henzi, blending data engineering, AI, and interactive art into one playful, thought-provoking experience. henzi.org

🎯 Why It Matters (And What’s Cool About It)

• A new perspective on news — Rather than slog through headlines, you can see what’s trending globally, how stories interconnect, and how mood and sentiment shift over time.

• Data meets art — Pulsefield lives at the intersection of journalism, data science, and digital art. It’s a creative exploration of “what’s happening now” through a visual medium.

• Engaging & playful — There’s something inherently fun about watching “the world’s pulse” in motion; it invites curiosity, idle exploration, and serendipitous discovery.
