So there is this website called random art. I knew about it a long time ago and then it went offline for about a year, but today I decided to see if it had been reopened. And it has. It is a bit different how the system works, and all the old pictures are gone, but it is now online again. Basically you can type in a word and it generates an image from it. Just check it out. www.random-art.org/

Omg I love this! I've tried different words like "dream" looks pretty and dream-like. "Dan Brown" is so pretty and pink haha. Capitalizing the words surprisingly makes a difference. I'm not too experienced with code so i'm not totally sure how it works, but it's very fun! What words have you tried out?

It's fun! It doesn't need a purpose, like curing cancer or something. It is a computer program that generates an image based on whatever you input. It's not that hard to get. If you don't like it fine, but for me, I use it for when I'm bored and try to make interesting images out of random words. It's kind of like abstract art. Some will like it and others won't, but it isn't pointless.

But it isn't... its some random gradient with pixels. It doesn't matter what you write atall...

@matthew That is wicked awesome! What did you type to get that? Sean S. Um, if you read the about section it tells you some info about how it works. What you input definitely affects what the resulting image looks like. It's not just a boring gradient, but if this concept is too difficult for you to grasp, that's ok. Just stop arguing that it's pointless just because you don't really get it.
