Zima is a series of poems written in JavaScript, the language of the browser. On the left, in braille, the instructions. On the right, what the browser prints once it runs them. The poems use the browser itself as material, its memory, what it keeps and loses, the characters it can or cannot show. Each poem is paired with a talisman, which gives it the weight of an object. I built it in public.
