<h2>adam john williams 2016</h2>
<p>balloons is an 888-byte digital artwork consisting of a poem about the experience of ego death whilst under the influence of nitrous oxide/"laughing gas"</p>
<p>the poem is followed by sonic pi code which produces generative music to accompany the poem, processed with effects to simulate the auditory hallucinations caused by the nitrous oxide</p>
<p>it is exactly 888 bytes in size so that it can be stored on an ntag216 NFC/RFID chip which has been implanted into the artist's left hand between the thumb & forefinger (pictured below)</p>
<p>poem & code reproduced below, or download <a href="https://adamjohnwilliams.github.io/art/ajw_balloons">here</a></p>
<p>use <a href="https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi">sonic pi</a> to hear & interact with the music</p>
<p>performance video coming soon</p>

<pre><code>#And what if when, I turn to dust
#The earth collapses in around me
#Falling, shrinking down, compressing
#Passing to the other side
#And in that moment, movement ceases
#All is still, no time progresses
#Curtain up, expose the mechanism
#Hey, remember the balloons?
