As the moon gets fuller and brighter, more data is introduced to the image, and the source code grows, creating a tide of data that rises and falls with the moon’s cycle.
While the loop plays, its source code is being changed byte by byte. This creates a glitch, an error in the data that alters the image. Randomly, a change will remain, changing the value of this byte for all the next frames too.
This creates a glitched lunar cycle, with mutations in its DNA, which keeps altering and evolving.
