The Living Wall
Eighteen backgrounds that change as the veintena turns
What the Living Wall is
Eighteen backgrounds, one per veintena, that change on their own as the Mexica year turns. The app's background is not fixed decoration: it tells you which stretch of the year you are in.
It changes every twenty days, which is how long a veintena lasts.
The images are the project's own art, made for each veintena out of what the sources describe of its feasts.
