Turbulence Artists' Studio: Reynald Drouhin
http://turbulence.org/studios/drouhin

Reynald Drouhin uses search engines, web cams, and Internet databases to
generate random electronic canvases and photographic mosaics.

"For Reynald&the situation seems clear: since everything and its
opposite gravitate and bustle and multiply to infinity within the twists
and turns of networks, he might as well dig into the inexhaustible (and
sometimes depressing) manna of data in order to construct his visual
cathedrals with virtual matchsticks."–Pierre Bongiovanni
