Bruce Ediger created this entertaining page designed to help you waste what's left of your day.
He wrote: "I saw a Mondrianizer in the functional language F#. This offended me on aesthetic grounds, in that a functional program should not generate 'random' images. Additionally, only Windows users can make any further use of that Mondrianizer. That offended me on ideological grounds."
"Acting on my aesthetic sensibilities, I churned out a Mondrian-like picture generator using a dodgy, open source, imperative language, PHP. The very sketchiness that PHP is famous for can be used to great effect in generating 'surprising' images. Now you too can have Art — and generate Art. If you have a PHP-enabled website, put automondrian.phps (PHP that generates the page you're now reading) and mond.phps (which generated the image above) in your htdocs directory, removing the s suffix."
