Generative pattern.

After messing around with Illustrator's step and repeat, which was really lame, Jasper and I accidentally found out about some really nice feature of the iMac's built-in iSight camera.
When you put two iMac's in front of each other, and tilt them in a way that both iSight camera's are pointed at it's opponent's screen, and you turn the camera on, you get undefinable, but really funky color flares on the screens.
We used this as the start of our pattern, made a setup where we placed more and more iMac's opposing each other and each time dropped a ball in the center to apply some structure (and a pattern). To cover the audio, we set up an associative array of words, and let Apple's text-to-speech shout it out loud.
We somehow ended up posting this on YouTube. Below the movie and some explanatory sketches.
