Selected sentences are cut or written into marbled backgrounds based on flow visualisations and wind patterns along with the metadata from the AI. This juxtaposition reflects on how we superimpose meaning onto natural phenomena.
[“erosion wind”, “e_3”, “The depression was initiated by either wind or erosion.”]
Depression and erosion could be a meteorological or psychological element here.
