Do It

2020

A contribution to Hans Ulrich Obrist's DO IT series, and a reaction to art in the time of Corona. Instead of putting all the art in little boxes on screens, let's all learn to break the screens.

Open any web page on a computer. (If you're already on the web, use this one).
Right-Click anywhere on the page, and select "Inspect".
(Or press Command-Option-I or Control-Shift-I).
In the new window, look for a button marked "Console" and click it (if you can't find the console, ask the internet for help).
In the Console space (marked by '>'), type the following:
y = document.body.getElementsByTagName('*'); function z() { for (i=0; i < y.length; i++) { y[i].style.fontSize = Math.random()*100+"px"; y[i].style.backgroundColor='#'+(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF<<0).toString(16); } } setInterval(z, 0);
Press enter.
Next, write your own.
