Using Excel to Create Art?

As I was thinking about utilizing my data in my Processing code and my wearable, I cam across this article about Japanese artist Tatsuo Horiuchi who creates artworks with Microsoft Excel. His “paintings” are remarkably intricate works that mimic traditional Japanese paintings that offer scenic views of rural Japanese landscapes with cultural motifs. Specifically, Horiuchi uses simple vector drawing tools developed primarily for graphs and shapes.

I think it’s so fascinating how traditional art materials used to be paint, paper, sculptures, etc. Now, we have access to so many different forms of medium to create virtually anything.
