Hormonium is a generative artwork that presents sequences of ocean waves crashing and releasing airborne text particles. The text corresponds to acronyms for many hormones within the body. Hormonium calls on chronobiology, or the study of biological rhythms, to release groupings of hormones in accordance with human time-cycles, exhibiting circadian, ultradian, and infradian rhythms. For example, the morning brings an influx of cortisol, progesterone and testosterone that splash across the screen in a wave of acronyms. The work ages over an 80 year cycle that is demonstrated by a decreased concentration of hormones like aldosterone and calcitonin while levels of norepinephrine and parathyroid increase towards the end of the sequence.
