Not sure if this really fits here …
This is a project I’ve just completed:
http://dev2.manme.org.uk/~davem/wreckers/
It’s an interactive work on the subject of the Devonshire ‘wreckers’.
My idea with this is to make what I call a ‘debate drawing’. I wanted to make drawings that were more connected to a subject, and I wanted to have a debate going on inside a picture - or even a debate that creates a picture. So I wrote a computer script and hooked it up to web feeds. The comments you post are mixed in with other comments from a web feed, and then converted into shapes and lines. Please have a go and post a comment, as every comment is added to the system and makes the pictures more interesting. The best pictures will be printed big, and I’m also thinking of doing T-shirts, if anyone’s interested - please email me.
