Imperative is a multimedia project stemming from years of artistic exploration. It brings together a wide variety of artistic passions, including poetry, generative (programmed) art, and electronic music. The title, “Imperative” stems from a style of poetry Estlin has developed over the past few years. The style has an almost programmatic feel to it, with code-like indentation and a lack of words referring to the self, like “I”, “me”, and “myself”. Both cover art and music visualizer were another creative endeavor, being coded using an open-source programming framework called “Processing”. The code base spans over 600 lines of code, and no re-run of the program looks quite the same as it uses randomness in much of its execution. Imperative aims to bring together the mechanical and the natural, using technology to create a mixture of artificial and organic.
