JuneComplexity

During this Week of Minacoding, the exploration of what human means to people came in various forms, images and outputs. Today's work symbolizes this complexity via Hydra & SonicPi with an array of visuals and sounds that clash with one another but still happen to be in unison.

Poem

Week Long
Strong Seeps
as There Are No Right or Wrong
as Sketches Prescribe a Notion
Through their Equations
as Humans Through an Array of Motions
Wondering Which Actions Determines What Gets open
