Its Art Jim.....

[Mr D Glasgow]

This is very off any thread, but here goes.

At the weekend, I went to the Cornerhouse Galleries, in Manchester 
(England).  There are currently three  installations, all of which have 
image/IT themes.

One, by Charles Sandison, is a bare room with projectors filling the 
walls and ceiling with words such as male, female, mother, father, 
threat, dead, food, child,.  The words moved around 'behaving' and 
changing their behaviour, depending on their encounters with other 
words.  For example, after 'Male' and 'Female' had hung out together 
for a while, the would transform into 'Father' and 'Mother', the word 
'mother' often moved around slowly, followed by a number of 'child' 
words.  Any word moving into a zone of jiggling 'threat' changed to 
'dead'.

I continued to stare about me while my wife struggled to get me to 
leave, and commented that I had obviously been lost in appreciation of 
the art and its meaning.  I had to confess......"well, no, actually I 
was just trying to work out how I would script it"

A major component of the answer, is of course, custom properties!

If you are interested, take a look here

Cornerhouse!
