Art, while you work.

February 19, 2010

If you, like me, are finding there aren’t enough hours lately to make ground breaking art or discover you may not have a single artistic bone in your body – or you may just be a plain lazy artist – here is a simple mouse tracker for the PC or mac by Anatoly Zenkov that will make you, the budding abstract artist, make Jackson Pollock look like an amateur.

Have it running in the background and it’ll track your mouse movements throughout the day. Sit idle and it produces a circle, the size and opacity of which depends on the amount of time spent on one spot.

Here is one I ‘produced’ earlier. Note: the big black dot wasn’t a result of an extended pub lunch, and the activity on top of it wasn’t a result of me covering it up – promise.

Save screenshots, or comparatively gauge how busy your week has been – and who knows you may be inspired to use it on your next design. Take that, Le Guernica.
