Let me just start by saying that I'm taking a pretty big risk with this one. With other pieces I've blogged about, I have been able to find some stable background information giving me an idea of the history, meaning and method behind the piece I found to be artistic. With this example though, I've come up with next to nothing, but my own opinion of why I find the iTunes visualizer as "art".
A great tool for procrastination for a few minutes, the iTunes visualizer is a graphical representation of art that sends bright lights and colors across your screen as your favorite music plays in the background. Not only does the graphical effects give an interesting experience, but the way that the graphics mingle with the beat of the music makes it an even more aesthetically pleasing experience. The patterns are generated in a random way, with slight boundaries given the music that is accompanying the projection.
I find the iTunes visualizer to be a piece of generative art that I have control over, since I can choose the music who's tempo creates the characteristics of the visual.
