A Digital Poem

Well I did it. Never wrote anything down. The images along with artwork and photos flooded my mind while I was in the shower. I went downstairs and started freestyling the audio. The sounds then shaped the animation. Suddenly I arrive somewhere I had never been--somewhere in the middle of groans, flashing color & splintered text. It's the dada fusion of all my creative pursuits at once. It's a digital poem.  I can't really explain it, it's like a digital art, experimental sound, moving text animation experience. It's The Word
