Compositions for the Infinite Scroll: #25

Compositions for the Infinite Scroll by Garrett Lynch IRL is a series of site-specific network generated works for the web that employ the infinite scroll format of social media websites, weblogs and e-commerce websites. The format is not employed in the typically way as an automated means to access a stream of content, such as user updates, posts or products that are each unique or distinct and intended to be user-friendly by minimising interaction and increasing user engagement. Instead, Compositions for the Infinite Scroll utilises a user's scrolling action to create its content of random compositions on the fly.

Each version of Compositions for the Infinite Scroll explores various ideas of vertical panoramas, endless myrioramas, combinations, movement, colour, form, abstraction and juxtaposition. Each composition created as part of each version of the work is a generative artwork that forms part of a series created as the user scrolls, that is potentially infinitely long and only ends when the user stops scrolling or the browser runs out of memory. The series is unique to each user visit and not repeated or stored.

Compositions for the Infinite Scroll: #24 is the twenty-fifth work in this series of series.
