Andrej Bauer at the University of Ljubljana has a random art generator. You can type in a name and his computer will scramble the name into a computer program, which then generates the art. The process is random in the sense that you, the user, have no idea how the name you type affects the picture. All you can do is try different names and see what happens.
It takes a few minutes to generate the art, which gives you time to browser the gallery of pictures that other people created. You can vote the pictures up or down, and the most popular pictures eventually make it to a "best of" gallery.
I picked the picture above from the visitors' gallery. Someone generated it from "doodoo galore". I generated the picture to the left from "Regruntled blogspot". Go figure.
