Now I know what to do with my extra monitor that I used to use for a home dashboard.
I discovered this page like back in 2015 and I am grateful to find it on hackernews again, I forgot even its name in the meantime.
Finding out that this is over 10 years old has made me profoundly sad. Despite the age of LLMs arguably unlocking massive amounts of productivity and agency for developers and non-developers alike, it feels as though we are living in a dark age of creativity on the web, maybe even a dark age for computer culture in general.
New interesting artsy web projects are being posted on hn all the time. neal.fun is an obvious example but there are plenty of others as well.

Biggest surprise here is that this website is still around. I was browsing it 20 years ago
Cool stuff, but why is there an entire loading screen and intro animation, then a play button, when it could just link to a gif?
Made me lose interest in browsing real quick
I genuinely can't tell if this is satire or not.
2010 OG account. He's been holding in this opinion for over a decade, waiting for his moment.
I don't know what this is, but I like it
There's a (not so visible) info button top right. It says:
cachemonet is an exploration into the serendipitous collisions that
occur between two randomly generated arrays. the arrays contain a mix
of custom and found .gifs sourced from tumblr and are set to
music. the output is autonomous, generative, art made possible through
curation & code.
and it sounds like "cash money"
That probably depends on what is being displayed... at some point I had sounds of USB connect/disconnect (possibly from the Windows 7 era).
I think GP is referring to the name of the site, which sounds like "cash money" if you pronounce it with a thick American accent.
I'm so delighted you guys are discovering this for the first time. It's been around for a long time. I think I first saw it in 2011.
You're the man now, dawg.
strong overtones of Blank Banshee going on here.
good times
An all-time classic, glad to see it's been unchanged for at least a decade
And you dip dip, dip...
I thought I was safe on here.
How can I self-host this?
Just for the legacy of this, I need to make sure this never vanishes

There's an actress called Cashae Monya
Works almost like stereograms (with duplicated object)!
