Do-it-yourself Jackson Pollock

Creating
a computer program that mimics Jackson Pollock’s painting technique may
sound like a daunting task, but it is just the kind of challenge that
Daniel Shiffman enjoys. Mr. Shiffman, 30, a media artist with a background
in math and theater, wanted to develop a program that would "paint" an
abstracted screen portrait of whoever was in front of the display, slowly
repainting and revising the picture as the viewer moved.
