So, years ago, while sitting next to Disco Stu at work, I kept day-dreaming about writing software that would create art for me from web input. It wouldn't be very sophisticated. It would, at a minimum:

• take a list of URLs as input
  • attempt to synthesize the content and context of elements of the URLs into the subject matter of the imagery.
  • spider the URLs when more input or refinement was required
• set its own style based on the content or a user's style overrides.
• output a static image of user-selected size

But, after a minimal amount of browsing from the topic GenerativeArt, it's clear that these day-dreams were topical at best. So, this post is an attempt to gather together my thoughts on some of the readings today.
