ascii collage machine

ascii collage machine

good hello all,

i've been developing what i call an ascii collage machine...
http://toegristle.com/spam-scab/

the idea is that it creates somewhat abstract ascii compositions by
cutting up source material and recombining it in different ways, just
like a collage artist might cut up images from magazines and
newspapers and recontextualize them. i would be interested to know
what the artists of this group think about the idea and the
implementation. any criticisms or ideas for improvement are welcome.

there is also functionality that allows you to add your own ascii art
or text to the main data file the machine uses as source material. if
any of you are so inclined, assuming you don't mind it being cut up
and used in a new work, please feel free to add as much of your art as
you'd like to make the machine more interesting.

thanks for your time. cheers!
