→IDEA PAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL REPUBLICATION

Planning

Main focus on feedback loops, flux, flow and and text as a regenerative organism.

OBSERVATION: Information inside a boundless space. TOOLS: ASCII (AALIB), NLTK & PDFTK Stamp / Background GOAL: Ascii texture made from texts, layering and feedback loops,

"Living text that is boundless & loops"
