Generated by algorithmically abstracting 1970s-era iconic films by

I propose that this kind of art - which takes information from just about anywhere (traffic conditions, weather reports, television) and uses it to create artworks - be called Dataism. Jason Salavon could be the André Breton (no relation unfortunately) of the Dataist movement. What do you think?
Breton would have loved this. Wow.
