An impressionistic abstract impression of cities of experiences, interactions, thought and imagination. Cities as living organisms of people, creatures, buildings, fungi and plants. Cellular like patterns, and dynamic interactions of colours and forms created from constructed compositions, generative maths based noise functions and music responsive visual systems. A time to re-imagine our cities as types of forests; cities as extensions of forests, cultivated buildings wildlife and vegetation, cities with forests within, above, below and surrounding them. Forests of concrete forms and vivid amorphous phenomena.
