I started making an image which was like the one you see here, in that it was simply colored rectangles arranged in a seemingly random way. Do you ever get the feeling that you have to constantly remind yourself of what you're thinking when you think? Anyways, the original image which the one before you is based off of looked to me to be strikingly similar to a Grand Theft Auto mini-map. The black square in the middle had more space around it, giving it a plaza-esque feeling. There was also less repetition in the first image, which was lost because my really crappy program (Pixen) froze up. The L-shaped figures in this image only occur once in the original, according to my memory. I tried to make the image of the sun in the upper left, but I couldn't figure out how. If you don't think this image looks like a GTA mini-map then that's because I didn't try to make the second (or first for that matter) look like one. The goal of the second one was to maintain the sense of randomness inherent in an image that has no real artistic appeal (given that its just colored rectangles) while hoping that it be a faithful recreation of the first one. Randomness really does change things, making almost impossible to repeat any artistic creation. Is it a time and a person and an environment? Actually it's more than just that, I admire certain artists who can use the unpredictable aspects of creation for their advantage.
