This is about the most art-installation-worthy pico-8 thing I've seen so far. I feel like just leaving it running on a big screen.
Your cartridge reminds me the Apollinaire’s Calligrammes "It's raining".
Have a good day.
I like the idea. Maybe the text could reform after some times, so it can run endless.
Scratchings in the sand only just beyond the surf at low tide, the sum of all human art and expression, destined to be obscured and erased by the persisting, unstoppable erosion imposed upon us all by the flowing of time. A difficult fact to accept, to approach all one's work, all one's creations, in a nihilistic sense, as temporary, that it cannot be preserved no matter how much effort. That one day soon we will be gone, and all the words we uttered with us.
Love how the poem gets washed away. I included it in my Pico-8 Jam #1 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/LE0NF8O7rUM
