Grant Hinkson’s generative Hydra Series moves from pen plots, projections, and holographic displays into a virtual gallery, launching alongside CONSTELLATIONS and two original soundtrack singles.
SEATTLE, WA, November 8, 2026 — Parietal Lab today announced that Project Hydra: Iterations, an immersive art experience by Grant Hinkson, will launch for Apple Vision Pro on November 10, 2026 as a free download. Created by the artist behind CONNECTOME and CONSTELLATIONS, the experience extends a physical body of generative artwork into spaces and scales beyond a conventional gallery.
The Hydra Series began as static images produced by pen plotters. It has since appeared as projected installations, wall-mounted digital frames, and holographic displays at Seattle events and galleries, including Shine on Seattle in 2025 and The Coliseum of Art in summer 2026.
At its center is a generative system of Bézier curves drawn across a fixed grid of rings. Simple geometric rules and bounded randomness produce changing forms that feel organic. In Project Hydra: Iterations, visitors move between rooms presenting different expressions of that system, from smaller arrangements to a towering 7×7 grid.
The experience is observational: navigation lets visitors choose where to stand and what to watch, while the artwork continues to unfold. There are no puzzles to complete or scores to pursue. A visit can last a few minutes or become a longer, meditative encounter with movement, scale, and repetition.
The complete cycle of the 7×7 grid lasts approximately 13 minutes. Each of its 49 nodes is visited once in a random order before the cycle begins again, giving visitors time to follow both individual changes and the composition as a whole.
The Apple Vision Pro edition uses system eye-gaze hover feedback and pinch selection for navigation between rooms. Built on the foundations of CONNECTOME, it brings another part of Hinkson’s creative work to the platform while keeping the artwork itself at the center of the experience.
Project Hydra: Iterations launches alongside CONSTELLATIONS by Parietal Lab, Hinkson’s $4.99 USD stargazing experience for Apple Vision Pro. Built using the Yale Bright Star Catalog, CONSTELLATIONS lets viewers bring constellations forward and connect their stars in space. Two singles composed by Hinkson, CONSTELLATIONS: Opening Titles and CONSTELLATIONS: Game Play, also release on streaming services November 10.
