A Graphical Web Spider in Processing
David asked us to produce a small artwork in any medium that explores a network we experience in everyday life. I chose to explore a somewhat conventional example of a network: a website. Specifically, the Ryerson website. This sketch generates a fractal tree by exploring this website. Each branch is a link to a page. For the purposes of simplicity, it limits the maximum number of links per page to 8, the maximum depth to 10 and does not explore beyond Ryerson's domain.
