ResistingChange

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “ Resistance”, ResistingChange is coded in Hydra, Locomotion & LiveCodeLab.

Resistant Element

ResistingChange follows the journey of an OrDroid, who is resistant to the changes seen on the right side of the screen as well as not following the choreography of the other OrDroids floating around. The LiveCodeLab Audio provides an ambience representing this journey.

Poem

Resistance To Change
Options for Range
Are Thoughts Hidden,
Locked up in a cage?
Or free to roam to Life’s Rhythm
Free to Scroll
Obtain new Zones
As it blends into the next page?
Is it a matter of age?
A scatter of the presence of one's own?
