**Descent**
Custom software, Javascript, WebGL
Variable dimensions, silent
Mostly downwards, mostly gray.
“Descent” is an attempt to represent depth using only characters from the code page 437 (CP437 for short, or “extended ASCII”).
The viewer is taken on an infinite journey along a column made of characters; the characters lose their original meaning and become shapes, structure.
