Very cool and love the animation, but does not seem to work well with beards :D

Thanks, Persedes! You're right, beards and hats are tricky. I haven't found a reliable way to handle them yet. If you have any ideas on how to solve this, I'd love to hear them. Contributions and PRs are always welcome: https://github.com/pearmini/bio-glyph

Is it related to my network? It doesn't seem to be quite the case

I was truly impressed by this archive page. It looks like a piece of art that I could stop and contemplate for a long time.

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I was hoping the archive would feel like a collective artwork created by everyone who participated!
