Looking at the images attaches to my profile, these are the images I've either viewed or uploaded recently, I thought the arrangement visually appealing. Here's a screenshot:
I thought it interesting that the process of being on twitter produces a kind of spontaneous art. Beyond 140 characters and the chance element of the timeline, twitter's real-time info-stream has several elements - beyond the platform's design itself, it's website and various apps - that can be or easily become art.
I remember there was this site where you could convert the twicons/avatars of your followers into a collage that you could use as a twitter background. That's another application of extrapolating twitter's everyday running into art. Art developed much more by chance, and the choices of others to follow you, than by deliberate process.
