Kandinsky Generator

This sketch makes random points, draws Bezier curves through sets of four of those, then flips a coin to decide whether they are shown. Also a few geometric points. Is it art? Wassily Kandinsky, 1866-1944, was the world's first modern abstract artist. Find out more about his amazing work, [url]http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/[/url]. If you download the sketch, there is a tool to find the point that determines a degree 4 Bezier curve. To make the curve, type Locus[<ptname>,t]. t is a slider off screen (has to be showing to make a locus) that runs from 0 to 1. Every few clicks, the painting will animate. Kandinsky would totally be into animation, I think.
