Artist/programmer Raven Kwok is a pro at creating intricately geometric data-driven artwork, and now he’s turned his talents to the lyrics video for Greatness by Karma Fields and Talib Kweli.

"The entire lyrics video consists of multiple variations of a customized generative system programmed using Processing,” writes Kwok in the video’s description. Check it out below.
