Open Source Art?

Posted by michael on from the slashcode-vaguely-resembles-the-scream dept.

gz writes "The Whitney has put online an exhibit where viewers are encouraged to examine the source code of the program that generates the art, despite the fact that the majority of viewers have no idea what the code means. Projects use Java, C, Perl, Lingo, and VB."

    I get irritated if I don't have eyecandy to look at while I work. I've made several anime- and movie-themed wallpapers of various kinds. While not a program that generates art, I do make the photoshop files containing both 'borrowed' and original art available for others to modify.

    I like to see this behavior, particularly in games like 'Freesim', where you can download and edit the tiles.
