Hi everyone! With all the new faces, I thought I’d take a minute to explain how #mastodon works. When you press “Publish!” on a message, your “#toot” is printed on acetate and attached to a #bee in a small capsule. That #bee is then given a choice of five #tubes to crawl through.* Once the #bee proceeds into a #tube, an #owl receives the #capsule from the #bee and brings it to your #federated #instance of #mastodon. HTH!

*The #bee has autonomy to choose no tube and force a system lockup.

Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.
