Premise Cruft
This cruft algorithm extracts images from the CNN home page once every eight hours. The headline text is parsed, and the images from this page are then manipulated, enlarged, cropped and turned into grayscale. The text is then pasted into the red fields generating the final image.
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.
