older artworks, specifically those questioning J.Albers, H.Hofmann and Vera Molnar.
## the basic concept
- create a square and add smaller squares to the border in general more inside(1) than outside(0.5)
- stack "layers of" squares on top to the main square
- building a block
- use of add and subtract operations
- minor squares can be boxes and frames of any type - no pure planes though
- grid vs irritated grid vs no grid
extended: squares or rectangles or quadrangles in squares or rectangles or quadrangles
## the use of tweetRandom here
tweetRandom uses an text input, uses their modular of 256 byte values, as if they were ASCII not UTF-8+ nowadays,
and generates a sequence of values between 0 and 1 which appears to be random
