„wo der Zufall abnimmt nimmt der Abfall zu“ (Sigward Sprotte)

Its playing with words an impossible to translate. A try: “while chance (in the meaning of randomness) decreases junk increases”

December. Time to think about season’s greetings. Possibly an individual card for every  addressee. Deeply hidden in my  file system I found a programm I wrote some years ago. The task was: draw 3 lines with random Bezier curves and random color. The program was written in postscript. You can easily copy the code to a post script printer or import as eps into Adobe Illustrator. Some results are a bit boring some have a good tension. Have a look at the results

The code:

%%BoundingBox: 0 0 400 400
statusdict begin /waittimeout 0 def end
/linienst
{
rand 10000000 div
