SporingWithFungi

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph : Fungi, We are exploring the world of Spores Through the Coding Environments: SonicPi, Hydra & OpenScad.

Spores Breakdown

• The Sounds are overlaid via a mix of SonicPi compositions. This is to reflect the movement of spores as they can be sporadic and concentrated at the same time. Plus reusing a sound made for the “Left Behind” Prompt as Spores and Fungi can be left behind

• A coded 3D model of a mushroom being moved is done through Openscad

• Then it is visually affected by Hydra and different perspectives(such as 360 and flips). Also reflects the movement of Fungi and a bit of a petri dish feeling.

Poetry

Fungi & Spores
Mushrooms, Molds and Many More
Endless Supply
To Supplement their Core
As They Wish for More Fungi, Aboard
Aboard a Trip
Containing Flips, Dips & splits
As it is: Fungi & Spores
