Another interactive art piece. Holding down a right or left click, one finds that a ribbon of whiteness is left against the black background. "Don't you mean a white ribbon, Joseph?" Not exactly - the whitness, itself, is treated as a kind of liquid, that flows according to rules one is left to decipher. There seems to be some sort of extrapolation from what one draws - quick movement narrowing the ribbon, slow movement broadening it - as if the cursor were a brush that a white liquid was flowing off of - to what is seen as one releases the click, and the whiteness left behind starts to move of its own accord. Close forms seem to move to new locations more slowly than open ones, which snake across a screen on which opposite sites are identified - go off the top edge, and you come in from the bottom edge of the black box where the ribbons move.

Right click, holding the click draw the cursor across the screen, and the software creates a little rounded wedge shape. Release the click, and the wedge shape, formed, is instantly reflected along a few different lines to create the beginning of a snowflake like figure. Insert a few more strokes, and you can quickly and easily create a nice looking stylized snowflake that you can set to rotate in two or three simulated dimensions, in a mannermanner that is surprisingly attractive , given how little work you just did. One flaw is that if you'd like to save that moving image you just created, there's no way to do so; right clicking on the image, you don't save the snowflake, you save the .swf file you used to create the moving snowflake.
