For the 11th prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: Lyrical, We take a look at ancient Zenthian Texts and see how movement alters the message being told.

Coded #Processing #Hydra @hydravideosynth and various effects

Poem

The relics
Contain lyrics
Lyrics, whose contain is unknown
So as the story is told
Envisioned what you see
As that is what the story
Has decided to behold

For the tenth prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "Gossamer",Intertwining Webs that may have a future to tell with the information from the present.

Coded with #LiveCodeLab & #SonicPi

Poetry

The webs may tell a future
An insight into the culture
With the ability
The personality
The characteristics
For a futuristic tale to drink
To sip
To unravel
The future that it is to tell

SporingWithFungi
for #wccchallenge #fungi

https://youtu.be/qqi4lJHu00k

Blog: https://blog.illestpreacha.com/wccchallengefungi

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph : Fungi, We are exploring the world of Spores Through the Coding Environments : #SonicPi, #Hydra @hydravideosynth & #OpenScad.

Spores Breakdown'

The Sounds are overlaid via a mix of SonicPi compositions. This is to reflect the movement of spores as they can be sporadic and concentrated at the same time.
Plus reusing a sound made for the “Left Behind” Prompt as Spores and Fungi can be left behind

A coded 3D model of a mushroom being moved is done through Openscad

Then it is visually affected by Hydra and different perspectives(such as 360 and flips). Also reflects the movement of Fungi and a bit of a petri dish feeling.

Poetry

Fungi & Spores
Mushrooms, Molds and Many More
Endless Supply
To Supplement their Core
As They Wish for More Fungi, Aboard
Aboard a Trip
Containing Flips, Dips & splits
As it is: Fungi & Spores

Poetry

Symphonies of the Heart
It tells the a whole
It explains a part
The symphonies contain whole episodes
As the parts find a place
Find a pace, find a space
For it to have its story told

For the eighth prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "Simian", The Simians located on the Planet Zenthian have at times been recorded singing in a choir. Coded with #SonicPi

They Howl in Unison
They grunt in Union

Isn’t needed for this reflection
Or any introspection
As the Simian Choir
Aims to Pitch Higher

For the 7th prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "Indigo" " through #LiveCodeLab, #Hydra and some effects, We are seeing the different shades of Indigo interact with each other.
Poem

Bursting of Indigos
Intermingling with various shades and hues
Belonging to the family of Indigo
Blues like the sky
At various times
Purples added to the lines
With a hint of violets
Added to the various colorsets
Bursting of Blues & Purples
Blitzing with their Hues
As their Waves form this Channel

For the sixth prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "UnderStory", We are witnessing documented evidence of the Rituals that are held under some of the Understories found in Zenthian. Remix of Code in #SonicPi & #Locomotion, alongside some visual effects.

Poem

Underneath the line of sight
Arises a realm, rituals
That are done beyond delight
The ripple effects
That alters the visual aspects
The internal depths
As they enter their orbital

Blogpost For Information :

For the fifth prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "Strangling, We are seeing plants strangling to become the main recipient of the nutrients that are entering their plot. Coded with #p5js #sonicpi and then glitchified.

The definitions of strangling that are used in this piece are

“suppress (an impulse, action, or sound)”

“hamper or hinder the development or activity of”

Poem

Waiting
As the breeze is waving
For the day is placing
Pacing, for the paths we paving
May move us closer
To the peak
We seek
As we venture off to midweek
But what are the words we speak
To push in this adventure to peek?
Which rhythm will be the composer

For the Rest of the SciArt Series: https://blog.illestpreacha.com/series/sciartseptember2023

For the fourth prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "Cold Blooded", We are hearing sound recordings of some of the insects and aquatic animals as they are cold-blooded on a warm Zenthian Night, transcribed/coded in SonicPi.
Poetry

Heard throughout
Heard in the depths of the inner thoughts
In monsoon and droughts
For they are around
For they are buzzing
Crawling and flossing
In between the seams
Scenes and sometimes produce streams
Of anxious from up to down
Corner to corner
When the temperature gets cold or warmer
For they are heard throughout

ZenthianAnnelids

For More Images : https://blog.illestpreacha.com/sciartseptember2023favorite

For the Third prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "Favorite", I took a previously made LiveCodeLab sketch on Annelids and gave them a Zenthian update.

Annelids refer to species such as earthworms and leeches. And these are the variants that are possible in the Zenthian ecosystem.

Link to the previous code and images: https://blog.illestpreacha.com/wccchallenge-digitalorganism

Poetry

What if We can build Organisms
Through the strides of time
Through the virtue of lines
But represented in cos and sine
That merges
That blends
The different areas that mends
Adding modulo
To see how the different angles
May roll
May be control
Through the lens of digi annelids
As they squirm
As they wiggle
Wiggle and dangle
From different viewpoints
Where the modulo controls the joints
As they may be like squids, snails or worms

For the Second prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: Battle, I merged Glitchlab with previously LiveCodeLab coded Imagery of Zenthian to showcase the PostBattle Effect that occurred to this ecosystem.

Poem

Post Battle Scars
Post Battle Routines
These are but a few of the scenes
That happened both near and far
These are the scenes
These are the imageries
That have their own chapter within the stories

Blogpost for More information: blog.illestpreacha.com/sciartseptember2023starry

For the first prompt of SciArtSeptember2023 of Starry, I created "Stars&Glows" which takes #Hydra & #SonicPi Code to make a timelapse of the stars and sky in an alternative realm of Zenthian. The sketch had effects added to emphasize the different starfields that are possible in Zenthian..

Poem

The Stars they wiggle
Even hiding a smile
As they join in the giggles
For their paths aren’t wild
As they care
For the flair
The styles that each one of them rather not bare
Or even compare
For they each their own
Clustered together in this zone
Knowing that they are not alone
In shining the light
Shining it bright to their delights

#Wikipedia #NewMedia #InternetImaginaries #InternetHistory: "This paper presents a media biography of Wikipedia’s data that focuses on the interpretative flexibility of Wikipedia and digital knowledge between the years 2001 and 2022. To do so, I not only follow a strand of media historians who argue that the imagination is an important component for understanding how media change, but I also argue that Wikipedia’s data has been incorporated, re-imagined, and repurposed by sociotechnical projects in ways that have often been side-lined despite acting as the boundary lines of what is considered digital knowledge. It combines Patrice Flichy’s longitudinal theory of technical development as an imaginaire, Frederik Lesage and Simone Natale’s historical approach of biographies of media with an analysis of the interpretative flexibility of new media. Through an eclectic corpus of project websites, new articles, press releases, and blogs, I demonstrate the unexpected ways the online encyclopedia has permeated throughout digital culture over the past twenty years through projects like the Citizendium, Everipedia, Google Search and AI software. As a result of this analysis, I explain how this array of meanings and materials constitutes the Wikipedia imaginaire: a collective activity of sociotechnical development that is fundamental to understanding the ideological and utopian meaning of knowledge with digital culture."

In nature, every living thing finds a way to survive and coexist with other living beings around the more successful to being. The more success it has, the better it is at survival. Better survival means the spread of the species and it can grow bigger and broader taking up more space and land.

Techies: So anyway, the "little" media are hurt much worse by this. They're mostly only on the #internet. They're small, as you say. Most of their traffic came from #Facebook and #Google. #Heck, so did most of yours. But you can fall back on your big names and your #TV stations or #newspapers.

#NewMedia: Ya, it really #hurt us. I don't know if we'll #survive. We didn't even get a seat at the table when this was being #discussed; we knew it was #stupid.

Techies: Everyone did.
