I wasn't sure what to say, but maybe this passage from Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons best sums up my reaction:
A no, a no since, a no since when, a no since when since, a no since when since a no since when since, a no since, a no since when since, a no since, a no, a no since a no since, a no since, a no since.
A no, seriously, there's a wonderful "exquisite corpse" quality to this image. Perhaps programs like Mark's "Sprite" and Damien's "Glyph" can be used as contemporary successors to the Dadaists' hat from which poetic lines were randomly pulled one at a time. After all, there's always a new, exciting iteration with each good shake or parameter adjustment.
