Thanks for the comments, Edward. Yes, the sound can be a bit disturbing... it's the nature of the data.
I like the idea of some of the "splashes" resembling the fine lines on paper currency. That hadn't occurred to me. I don't see the "monetary value" issue as "bellyaching" although I understand your point. Personally, I've accepted the fact that the art I make is a hard sell (that's why I have a day job). Several artists who make programmed art have chosen to sell generated prints. To me that goes against one of the primary characteristics of this kind of work... i.e. the fact that it has no stationary point at which it could be considered complete and therefore worthy of a print that fully captures the essence of the work. At the same time, we artists need to make a buck every now and then just like everyone else. Best r. Pall On Sun, Jun 21, 2015 at 10:38 AM Edward Picot <[email protected]> wrote: > This is excellent!
