Yggdrasil (2007) was a meditative art project built for a friend — a glowing tree with background music, implemented without Flash through custom cross-browser audio detection.
In 2007, we created Yggdrasil, a small meditative website built as an experiment for a friend.
The concept was simple yet unusual: a glowing tree with “growing minds” on its branches, accompanied by calming background music.
🌳 Visual centerpiece: the World Tree (Yggdrasil), glowing and subtly animated.
🧠 Unique touch: “growing brains” appeared on the branches.
🎵 Background music selected to support a meditative mood.
🚫 No Flash allowed — unusual for 2007.
🛠️ Instead, we built a browser/OS detection system to automatically select the correct playback method for each user.
👥 Created as a personal art project for a friend, not as a commercial site.
Yggdrasil wasn’t about business or milestones — it was about experimentation.
It showed how even a small, non-commercial idea could push us into solving technical challenges (like Flash-free audio) while exploring artistic expression.
👉 For us, it remains one of those quirky “for friends” projects that carried both fun and technical learning.
