Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce the alpha version of what I'm
calling
"the BOMB project," an idea I am working on which was sparked
by a few recent messages on this list.

The name comes from the digital images I've created
specifically for this project. All these images (they should
technically be called digital collage) were created in Photoshop
using bits and pieces of imagery taken from news sites on the
web about the Iraqi bombings. The compositions I have come
up with do not necessarily comment on the bombings, but all of
the source material comes from the media's recording of this
event.

What is a new experiment for me is the interface given to the
user to view this digital series. Using JavaScript, (which I'm just
beginning to learn,) the HTML page randomly selects one, two
or three images from an
"image pool." Also each image links to another page that
randomly selects another layout from the same image pool. By
looping through the same few pages, the user/viewer is treated
to a completely random and unique viewing experience. The
random juxtaposition of these images is built in to the program.

My goal in this is to create an amorphous, unpredictable, work
of art that is unique to the world wide web. This project will
constantly be changing and growing because I can always add
more and more images to the "pool," or remove or edit some, or
change different possible layouts.

So it is still in an early stage, there are surely some things to
smooth out, but I feel it is ripe enough to debut. Please take a
look and click through it a few times. You will no doubt see the
same image duplicated every once in a while, but for the most
part you will see completely random juxtapositions of the BOMB
series so far. I also invite you to view the source code to see
how its done. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. A
discussion on how the unpredictable juxtaposition of these
images affects the viewing experience would be very helpful to
me and this project. Thanks for your time!
