A million years ago I read a book about a computer drawing... uh... thing, and although it stuck in my head as far as the way it worked and what it and its output looked like, I had no recollection of what it was called. I have idly Google here and there but couldn't quite squeeze enough identifying descriptors out of my brain and "computer" "draw" "algorithm" just didn't cut it. I stumbled across it just now, though: Aaron, the computer program that produces something enough like art to get gallery representation.* I'm glad to've found it. In fact I should go back and look as I caught a glimpse of something saying one may run Aaron on one's own computer. ===:O

*Although the crumpled paper I found once that had been left by a gallery owner, and which read "MA = serious artst" might mean that the computer is only a hobbyist. *sporks the stupid artworld*

Have I ranted lately about the stupidity of the artworld? SJ was down on Wednesday and we spent hours blabbing about a lot of things including how much we hate the art world. She's worked for museums/collections/etc. for a billion years and she is sick sick sick of the corrupt structure. I am on the other side (I mean the artist side) but I loathe it too, and in fact spent years making my things sort of anti-artworld FU creations. Anyway, what's that you say I've ranted a lot recently? Say, you wouldn't be trying to get out of hearing my rants, would you? no? Sure?

It bothers me that some people are trying to recreate the same structure in Second Life, as a kind of artless mini-me. Ah well. Whatever amuses them is ok, I reckon, but I don't like the snobbishness based on nothing, and the sheer creepiness of the emulation of a corrupt power system.
