Brian Eno (amazing artist) has an art show going on at Cal State Long Beach right now called "77 Million Paintings" in which the audience sits in front of a setup of about a dozen or so LCD screens ranging in size from large to small, all displaying different paintings. As you watch the screens, the paintings begin to VERY SLOWLY change. The change is so small and slight that once you're done investigating one portion of the piece, one of the other screens has changed almost COMPLETELY in your absence - and once you've inspected the differences, the one you had just been looking at prior is now changed as well.

The show is going on until sometime in December, I believe. Here's a link to the YouTube search for "77 Million Paintings": [link]

I went to see it last month (or perhaps the month before that?), and was immediately trying to find ways to implement it with words. My ULTIMATE goal is to have an entire peice of writing that changes during the course of reading it. But for now, this isn't a bad test.

But this isn't as good as it could be. Maybe one day I'll go back, break apart the letters into their individual lines, and program an algorithm into it to make it an even more fluid and seemingly random transformation (and more like the art show that inspired it).
