Inspiration:

Alex's bad fuzz is a really awesome piece, with a lot of features that I love: the dithering, the pseudo-rorschach shapes in the mirror, the slow movement of cosine waves.

I wanted to move away from the mirror a bit, but lean into the screensaver vibes a lot. In the process, I ended up with this tweetcart that preserves much of Alex's, but renders it in a very different context.

Then, add a little entropy locking and boom, we have asemic text-like patterns showing up nicely.

The Tweetcart Relay is a series of tweetcarts minted and passed between artists who take the prior work, and modify it to their liking.
