The About part is interesting:

Quote:
Dreamlines is a non-linear, interactive visual experience. The user enters one or more words that define the subject of a dream he would like to dream. The system looks in the Web for images related to those words, and takes them as input to generate an ambiguous painting, in perpetual change, where elements fuse into one another, in a process analogous to memory and free association.
The system has been developed in Java and PHP. First, a PHP script makes a Google image search of the words entered by the user. Then, the Java applet retrieves the images one by one, and uses them as input to generate an ever-changing drawing.
The pictures are never actually shown. The drawing itself is produced by 1500 autonomous particles in perpetual movement. The last image loaded serves as a sort of virtual terrain for them. The direction and speed of each particle is given, at each step, by the color values of the pixel they are stepping on. Different sets of formulas translate the hue, saturation and brightness of the pixel in angle and velocity values for the particle. The path of each particle is traced to the screen, and this forms the output seen by the user.
Thus, the work is at the same time a study on population dynamics, or on the emergent behavior of a multitude of very simple autonomous agents.
Who is dreaming? The user, or the Internet itself? In a certain way, both. The program generates a personal moving picture, unique, unpredictable, and forever gone when it is finished, just like dreams. But that dream is made out of pieces taken form the subconscious of the whole net, gathered by some words of the user and the obscure logic of searching algorithms.
The subject of this work is, many times, multiplicity. That of the particles in endless movement, that of the vast contents of the Internet, that of the users and the dreams they wish to dream.
All this multiplicities get together on the verge of chaos, on a process that mixes randomness and strict but complex logics, very much alike the processes that take place in our heads. Even when we rest.

I don't dream in a non-linear, interactive visual experience.
When I dream of girls, real girls show up.(Well, real dream girls) No wavy lines or all that other mumbo jumbo.

Sounds like hippie mysticism to me...
But here's something interesting, put in "pi" and see what you get.
Who is that our boy is in bed with?!?

I can't do it with the Linux distro I'm using now (yet). I did it before, and I didn't really see anything like that. Only a few distorted pi symbols.

Please don't post things like this. The first is offensive to quite a few people, and I am offended by the second question as well. I understand that they were meant as humor, but please consider whether or not humor is at the expense of a large group of people or even a single person before sharing it.

Pi man, you gotta lighten up, the comment referring to you was made for you to hear, laugh at, and joke back at the ones making it. Its okay to joke around with people on the board, (or anywhere else for that matter), thats what friends do. As for the catholic priest comment, lets just say nowadays, if I had a son or daughter, they would not EVER come remotely close to being left alone with a catholic priest, and I would tell the pope himself that. You gotta learn to toughen up a little bit, and stop taking things so personal.
