Construct Small Groups
By Silvana Smith
Artist's Note
This is a hybrid code poem piece. I wanted to convey what was happening within Florida (and within the world) but as though it was recorded by a computer. Based on my understanding of code and the overlap between computer commands and national commands, I typed a piece that shows both.
