Quark

Quark, by Mark Napier is an interactive program that can be found on The Alternative Art Museum website. You can watch a unique piece created before your eyes. A black screen will come up and you can click anywhere in that screen, setting off an infinite series of lines and waves of color that represent the fundamental particle, the quark. Quarks are composed of three electrical charges, each represented by either red, green, or blue which together are said to make up white light. Computers also use these three fundamental colors to make up the myriad of colors constantly shown on your screen. This is called RGB. This project ties the concept of the quark into the RGB color model to create each picture. The result is a vivid series of colors complexly wound around each other. I highly recommend trying it out.
