Over on Slashdot¹, there was an article about the Whitney Museum's "CODeDOC" project, which involves art created by or with computer programs, whose source is available.

There are a couple of entries that used Perl, this being one. I must admit my own reaction to it was along the lines of "Gah, he's not using LWP." But then again, I'm not an artist or art critic. But when I looked at the comments other artists made about the piece, I found this gem of a quote from John Klima:

The most cryptic language, at least to me, is Perl. As in Martin's piece, it's astonishing what can be accomplished with so little, and the few Perl scripts that I have written have indeed impressed me with how few lines you need to get the job done. Sawad shows this most effectively with his contribution, making a complete collider in a few dozen lines.

Makes me wish I could say something that articulate about art!

Update
I just noticed that there's an announcement in Perl News about the exhibit also.
