Geeks aren’t always the best artists, but there are plenty of ways to use technology to get around that and create some stylish graphics. One of the easiest of these is Viscosity, winner of the Best Art award at this year’s SXSW.

Your Viscosity image starts out as 9 shaded horizontal stripes, but a few clicks will make it bloom into a multi-colored, semi-transparent, almost sculptural piece of transcendent web-stuff. Viscosity has just a few controls. You can slide your brushes from mushy to angular, and change sizes, colors and opacities, but that’s about it. It’s a basic interface that produces unexpectedly complex results.
