“You might look at this and think "What's the point?" or "how does this relate to my business?" Think of this as an example of how to quickly, easily, and inexpensively get 10,000 people to do something for you. Today it is sheep, but it could just as easily be choices of color combinations for car interiors, evaluation of some logos for your business, selection of most important features when choosing a vacation spot, and so forth.”

« The artwork will take an impossibly long time to complete. Exhausting the possibilities of the first 32-pixel row takes over a year on most computers. Extending that to the second row will take 6 billion years on a PC with a Pentium processor (a few billion less on a Pentium III).»

« I'm the 63rd person to buy the artwork. Simon compiled the purchase date into the applet, so mine displays how far the class has gotten since it was created on May 15, 2000.

I enjoy the piece for its glimpse of the infinite. I love the idea that a Java class could run for my lifetime and beyond, displaying a unique image each moment it is viewed that represents the passage of time since it began, iterating towards the end of a loop it will never reach.

At some point, I'd like to move this class to a solar-powered PDA, tablet PC, or another self-sustaining device so it can run forever and be inflicted on my heirs. »
