Concept: The 9 Billion Names of Robot in the Woods

Category: Build-A-Book, FYI

Ever read “The 9 Billion Names of God” by Arthur C. Clarke? In this story, Clarke imagines a number-crunching supercomputer generating all possible combinations of letters/symbols in which God can be named. The story can be found here.

Artists and authors of any age, level of expertise, medium, and style are encouraged to participate in a similar project. Its a fun new portfolio development and art commissioning project called Robot in the Woods.

I am developing a website where all images are renderings of the phrase “Robot in the Woods” by different artists/styles. I have been conducting little experiments and when I mention to friends, everybody conjures up something different in their mind (what did you think of?) I envision this as a tool for the self-representing artist to display and promote thier portfolio.
