>but rather the fact that they are one push of a button away from being deleted forever but how is that expressed or communicated through the installation? Why should anyone value random patterns generated by a machine that had no intention? I find andy goldsworthy's art incredible, and he bases his work almost entirely on this idea of impermanent art (although his is usually found materials). I'm not sure its communicated by what you've presented. I think the impermanence of random patterns that don't communicate anything is something you can find interesting rather than something thats communicated by the video screen, or the intention of the installation. It's a cool project, but ya, still not sold on this being art per se.
