Frenetic Splicing, or Growing Hybrids on your Computer

Here's a formula for creating an infinite number of permutations of one (artistic) form, thus guaranteeing that you'll never get lost in the wastelands of minimalism:

Meanwhile - after and before and midway through re-designing my own web site, that is - I'm called upon to set up a site for a local art group. "Keep it simple, you flamboyant, baroque-eyed, contrarian smart-ass," the Boss-man directs: Make it look like an expensive art book, rarely flipped through, never read, bought mainly as a status symbol for coffee tables by those who want to look cultured; make it staid, understated, as tediously reserved as the old-money patriarch following antique templates of style.

Doing the web site is frustrating, because Boss-man demands that everything be so damned stark. Sure, it makes sense for the artists' index pages to be minimalist - no background design to distract from the art. But the home page should have a bit more pizzazz, at least in my opinion....something to visually suggest that it's an ART site, not the home base for a company selling plain white paper or a group of color-blind mathematicians with greased-up glasses.

Man, I hate minimalism when it's taken to the max. If I'm going to look at something, I want some "theater" in it.
