Question

David Tristram made one of these works for the IRIX (“EYE-ricks”) system called Electropaint. The creation of these works is crowdsourced to computers running the Electric Sheep program. In one of these works, a man on a deserted island has a relationship with a mermaid and is attacked by Lilliputian pirates, among many other events. Another of these works has an Easter egg in which a Utah teapot model (15[1])randomly replaces a joint connecting two segments of a 3D (*) pipe growing at 90 degree angles. (10[1])Sierra (10[1])On-line created one of these works named “Johnny Castaway”, and Berkeley Systems released a collection of these works (10[1])called After Dark. A cold open in The Office references the obsession with wanting (10[1])a bouncing object in one of these works to hit a corner. For 10 points, name these ephemeral artworks that appear when a TV or computer monitor is left unattended. ■END■
