Jackson Pollock by Miltos Manetas
Created  by the artist Miltos Manetas, this site doesn't really have anything to do with the famous painter. But if you jerk and jiggle and click your mouse at random intervals, you can approximate a two-dimensional mélange of color and shape reminiscent of the abstract expressionist's style. And that's all you can do—try to draw anything besides the algorithmically-prescribed multicolored blotches and lines, and you'll wind up with the kind of pre-K Crayola masterpiece even a mother might not hang on her refrigerator. Aside from the obvious fun of engaging in what less-cultured commentators might call "scribbling," the site provides, to get all Zen for a moment, an excellent opportunity to revel in process over product. Because, after spending, oh, 45 minutes creating a perfect harmony of form and hue, we could not figure out how to save or print it. But the chances of our investing 45 minutes in the site again today? Very high. (in Web Art) |
