Word Cruft
This cruft algorithm extracts images from the Word A Day website once every morning. The parsed word is then passed to several search engines returning results of images relating to the word. These images are then manipulated, enlarged, cropped and turned into monochromatic blue. The word is then pasted into the image in the upper left corner.
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.
