Ode to Destructing Facebook’s origins

Creating Poetry that Deconstructs facebook’s first PR using intersectional feminist works of LIterature and Art via poetic code

Constructed with Python code that reads like poetry, this piece reimagines the lines between poetry and code. To create it, I procedurally deconstructed Facebook’s first PR by writing a program that destroys replaces verbs that describe autonomy, words related to social connection, expressive descriptors, and identifying and proper nouns.
