Electric Sheep

Electric sheep are not real sheep but rather a computer program that creates and displays digital art. It's like having a magic coloring book on your computer that constantly changes its patterns and colors.

Think of it like a big group of imaginary sheep that live in a computer. These sheep are not like real sheep but are made up of colorful pixels that change and move around. They are created by a special program that uses complex math formulas to make beautiful and unique designs.

The program works by taking a small set of basic shapes, such as squares or circles, and then combining them in different ways using math formulas. These shapes are then colored and animated to make them look like they are moving and changing in real time. The program does all of this automatically and can generate thousands of different sheep designs in just a few minutes.

The electric sheep program was created in the late 1990s and is still used today by artists and designers to create beautiful digital art. It's like having your own personal art gallery on your computer. You can sit and watch the electric sheep and see how they change and evolve over time, just like real sheep would out in a field.
