ever - a piece of concrete poetry
February 11, 2021
inspiration
there’s a distinct page from my childhood in one of Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events novels — an entire page filled with ‘ever’.
process
i did a basic count and print of all the evers on the page:
and i also did an exploration of unicode characters
Each character has a number representation:
e = 101
v = 118
e = 101
r = 118
since this was my first time playing around with python in this context, I fiddled with some graphs and printing without using new lines print(char, end=' | ')
final output
My final composition was messing with loops and utilizing randomly generated tabs throughout.
I hope to make work that is less pseudo-random and more “noise”-like, utilizing algorithms related to Perlin Noise.
