Inspiration:

Alex's "Bad Ring" features a series of overlapping rings rotating in the center. I find those to be the central feature of the piece, which I wanted to preserve in my leg of the relay. I really admire the smooth motions and animations that Alex's work often features, which is a nice contrast to the chaotic and frantic movements usually found in my own work. Here, I wanted to marry the two, so we have a twisted version of the ring system Alex created, being shredded by calls to `memcpy` to copy parts of the screen memory. It creates a nice looking feedback loop with some fun emergent behaviours, and that's it!

Tweetcart Relay is a series of tweetcarts minted and passed between artists who take the prior work, and modify it to their liking. Anyone who likes to make tweetcarts or wants to learn how can join! This particular relay is an ongoing project between aebrer, CarsonK, alexthescott, and p1x3lboy.
