Tech Imitates Art

Detractors of modern abstract art often cite Jackson Pollock’s post-1947 works as examples of why abstract art is crap. (Personally, I don’t mind Pollock, it’s Rothko I can’t stand).

Pollock’s “pour” technique produced pieces like Lavender Mist, which is frequently derided as the sort of random visual noise a lower primate might produce if allowed unfettered access to a few pots of paint (brushes optional). A comment commonly uttered about such pieces is "anybody could do that".

Well, rejoice, lovers (or haters) of 20th-century abstractionism! Now, thanks to technology, you can show the world you’ve got what it takes to be the next Jackson Pollock.
