This is Web Bubble. An example for my web art class. Imagine a collection of circles of various colors that appear and then shrink and vanish at different positions in a window. The positions, colors, and size of the circles will be based on information found in web pages. The artwork I propose will first access a random web page. Web pages are basically text, or bytes, and each byte is really a number between 0 and 255. A byte value will be selected by choosing a random line and character within that line. The web site http://www.uroulette.com/ lists a collection of random web sites. Color is between 0 and 255, which is a byte value. select 3 such values as R,G,B color for the circle. Width and height are values define by the window size. Take the byte values and scale them to the width. Radius will be a byte scaled to 3-60. Circle parameters are stored in arrays and drawn each frame, shrinking in radius by 1 each time. What happens when a web page can't be opened? What happens if a line has 0 characters? etc etc. |
