apoem.life

Description:

What I love most about computational and digital text is you're taking something that's initially static and changing it in ways that are hard to do in printed text, allowing for new experiences. One thing that comes up from this is in the physical world, nothing is static: that which sits forever does not remain the same. They grow, and change, and when left alone, decay, grow mold, and gather dust. What would it look like for text left alone to change? apoem.life is a website that houses poems that are seeded, grow over time, then decay and die. These poems in turn seed other poems. Viewers can interact with the site, view old poems that have been planted, and plant their own, then come back later in the day or week or month and see how their poem has grown.
