Scape Cruft (ebb)

This cruft processes images from a California beach throughout the day and part of the night. A digital video landscape is created capturing the ebb and flow of light and movement. Every day a new digital video is uploaded and one still image is archived.

Borrowing the computer hacker term "Cruft" I have applied it to my current series of images. I create these CRUFT images by writing 'recipes' (also known as an algorithm). An automated system follows the instructions, first harvesting selected source material from the Internet, and then processing that information into a CRUFT, generating images 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
