PoeticErosion

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “ Erosion”, PoeticErosion takes previous p5js and erodes it through Hydra. PoeticErosion takes these chromatic poems as a data format because “ data erosion, a phenomenon also known as data decay, is the gradual decrease in the accuracy and usefulness of data” - 6sense. The poems that were once clearer(seen on the left side) are now harder to distinguish.

SonicPi was used for the sound with various audio erosion effects added.

Poem

Erosion, a decay
Where the decrease
Is seen within the pieces
What is this phrase
Trying to communicate
Attemption to say
In its altered state,
Altered phase?
