This image was rendered for a class on Writing. The red text reads:
Language holds the logic of
Why a raven is like a writing desk
Like a piano with 81 keys
Recursion saves the signal
From the lapse of memories
To read the smaller text, I suggest looking at the
Google Drawing.
Within each box, is the same text with errors injected. Sometimes on purpose, other times by accident. The first error was that the whole thing was broken down by syllables. However, this is not an accurate rendition of the syllables as the software used was designed for singing, which is wildly different than the more technical definition of a syllable.
Lan-guage holds the log-ic of
Why a ra-ven is like a writ-ing desk
Like a pi-a-no with 81 keys
Re-cur-sion saves the sig-nal
From the lapse of mem-o-ries
I also put in typos and misspellings by going as fast as I could when typing. It was painful not to go back and correct it. I did allow myself to go back and delete incorrect letters, but not actually change them. I mean for this to look frustrating.
The grid-like fractal pattern was generated on graph paper by the following method:
Draw a line along one edge of a box on the graph paper.
Toss a coin, heads turn left, tails turn right.
Repeat.
A lot.
To speed this process, I alternated between cupping a dime in my drawing hand and allowing it move as I drew lines and grabbing a bunch of pennies out of a cup and lining them up dozens at at time. When I reached the boundary of the paper, I would move over into the next blank space with little care as to how it was positioned.
It was a slow process. Additionally, when I took the pattern to digital, I made more errors. That was something the graph paper was mean to prevent. Oops.
