This is something I wish I would have thought of myself:

Algorithms for the end of art

It all started with trying to identify a painting with nested green squares.

A few Google searches later, we found it. But the image led us to this great website out of Amsterdam.

“The Institute of Artificial Art.”

Enjoy.

This guy Graham is a new media artist doing some interesting work – just learned about him from the Media Modes symposium being held at the School of Visual Arts, NY in November. Check him out.
