Currently playing around with processing.org. It claims to close the gap between programmer and artist; each programme is a ’sketch’ rather than anything else, only had it open a day or two but the potential seems vast. More on the project I’m attempting to do with it later but here’s something I did today that started out as my code going very wrong.

This ’sketch’ takes information from the latest feed on guardian.co.uk, reorders the body text placed over the header and bleeds it down the screen window. The resulting pattern from the feed dying is completely different every time The Guardian posts a new bit of news; it can take information from pretty much any RSS feed on the web too.

Screen grabs after the jump.
