Michael Berto @pawsmenu.info · 06/01/2026Conceptually, it is as if I am Edison and you are Muybridge. In a kind of functionally metaphorical, theoretical sort of way. Lovely application of the software film thesis. Beautiful piece. 020

Michael Berto @pawsmenu.info · 31/12/2025I love the 'intro' sequences to the mainline Dimensional Prism Software Films, so much I just wanted to make something highlighting that. So, I wrote a poem called "The Goddess of Stone" and applied that as a 'software film music video' pawsmenu.itch.io/the-goddess-...pawsmenu.itch.ioThe Goddess of Stone by Paws Menua software film poem 100
Michael Berto @pawsmenu.info · 31/12/2025"A Midnight Ritual", continuing the story of Dimensional Prism, Checkpoint Charlie and Cherry Pie.

Michael Berto @pawsmenu.info · 31/12/2025In the same vein as Ophiuchus, "Compartmental Light" is another experiment in endless, non-linear orchestrations and generative art toys.

Michael Berto @pawsmenu.info · 31/12/2025Hello everyone. I chose to use as little social media as possible this year. This resulted in a 600% increase in project completion and productivity. Here are some projects I created and released this year, in a thread. 110
