Random this Random that

I have had a little bit of trouble finding artwork that is random, but did find this example of computer generated artwork.

I believe this is also a gallery of art that has been made randomly through a computer somehow

I am not sure what i want to do with this project because i understand that there are so many possibilities when it comes to having random elements in a computer. I do know kind of how the random programming works, but im not sure how i want to express that artistically or how much of my project I want to be random, i'll just have to develop some concepts and see how things go.

2nd Project Finished

Progression is the key

So i have finally come up with my final idea for my project after days of deliberation and mental strain. I started off using a lightbulb and decided to present a pretty straight forward but power message through my interactive project. My idea is that the screen will start with about 8 or 9 lightbulbs on it. The viewer will be able to click on any of the light bulbs to turn it on. After doing so they will notice that part of a message or background will be lit up only revealing part of it's full idea. The more light bulbs that are clicked on the more of the message the viewer will be able to see. Each light bulb will represent a certain group of people, although im not sure what groups i want represented through each light bulb. The idea is that each group of people sheds light on pieces of the puzzle or problem and that even though they are all trying to achieve the same goal, their light wont be enough to view the entire piece. After all the light bulbs are clicked on a light switch will appear that will be labeled either "Everyone" or "A Collective Effort" and after it is switched on by the user the entire message will be lit up, which means that if the people work as a whole, they will be able to solve more problems than if they work individually and for themselves rather than for the common good.
