Code&Groceries

Today's MinaCoding Prompt is Unusual Places to Code. I decided to remix some old Hydra Code while going grocery shopping to utilize the i**nitCam function rather than the initScreen function.

To use Hydra while shopping, I used two cameras from my cellphone to film the footage while using the code as a real-time filter. Then, I tripled up the footage as you see on the screen.

For the sounds, I used a previous SonicPi sonification of my heart rates while working out what I compose for a Decibels Challenge

Poem

There are many options at this grocery,
What shall I take? What shall I eat?
Which flavours shall make my tasting complete?
What would make the the mind at ease
And for my taste buds, that makes my taste buds pleased?
