WCCC_Branching

MindsetofABranch

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph: "Branching", MindsetofABranch takes the git branching graph from Mermaid.Js while showing the pixelated and chaotic process that can occur through ideation with Hydra. The sound that ties this branching progress is a remix coded composition in Limut.

Poetry

When process emerge
Which ones float above the progress?
And which ones makes the ideas submerge
What idea stays on the branch
And sprouts it leaves
Which idea alienates the rest,
And minimise the ability
For the idea to breathe?
Pixelated thoughts
Might happen more, might happen a lot?
