A .txt file contains many of the lyrics of interpol. The bot grabs a line randomly and splits the letters of the line selected. Each letter has been given a color value which is display on top of an Interpol image randomly selected also. | A .txt file contains many of the lyrics of interpol.

== Robots have feelings too == | |||
At the end of the project I felt upset and frustrated with my results, but also happy. I like frustration. Interpol says: "you're so cute when you're frustrated" (and this is how it looks). So yeah I look cute and frustrated. | |||

Anyways, though I didn't get the expected results, I did learned more about coding. I wanted to do more but at the time I tried to make my bot interact with people (on mention tweets), I didn't get to do it. This is what caused me frustration. I thought it was going to be easier but it wasn't. I am still trying to accomplish this, though I am afraid it will be too late by the time I'm done. | |||
This bot was frustrating, yes. But I do feel happy with the result. It is a very personal fan project for I do love Interpol very much and to see music + maths + colors in one place is fascinating for me. To me, that's one of the main principles of digital art, the combination of colors and math. I am very glad that now I can see how the music that I love looks in white, red and black, Interpol's favorite colors. | |||
I had fun along the way and I actually enjoyed very much to see and make a screenshot every time I was testing and running the bot and one of my favorite lines would appear in my screen. (Some examples are coming). Also I retweeted myself many times, so yes. I am a narcisist. | |||
