Chris Ashley, Untitled, 20060906, HTML, 250 x 200 pixels

After a run of "auto-pixelated" media imagery combined with abstraction that I wasn't too wild about, Ashley is making pixel art-sized abstractions that are rather tasty. This is one. Minimalism is not dead, it just got smaller. You should peep the code on this one if you can, it goes on forever.

Heh, on the Bloglines RSS reader, which consistently makes hash of this page, Ashley's piece reads as...invisible. The caption reads "Very Small Abstractions." Not that small. Bloglines, kindly eat me.

I'm glad you picked up on them, Tom. They are tasty! I was thinking I'd really love to see them in Tokyo--silly analog me!

On a slow link, the image is "animated" as the html loads and the image is built by the browser. Cool coding.

That's what I suspected, but my connection is too fast to see it. (I've been trying my damndest to sneak up on it, or trick it into animating, but no luck so far)

900 MHz Pentium III with too many windows open with a spotty EV-DO wireless connection should do the trick.
