Weird Tales of 1928 Transport

The "Weird Tales of 1928 Transport '' reimagines Crazy Plane (1928) and Steamboat Willie (1928) from different angles through modern society, technology and perspectives for the 2024 Public Domain Day Remix.

The Coding aspect of this piece took around an hour which makes it a good entry for Genuary 27: Code for an Hour.

Taking live coding languages to remix the original content such as SonicPi(musically), Hydra and LivecodingYoutube (Visually) with filters and effects added.

Poem

Steamboats and Planes
Transporting in different realms
Multiple ways
From airflow to waves
Sometimes simple, otherwise an overwhelm
