Casey Reas' Process series explores the relevance of conceptual art to the idea of software as art. Reas creates text descriptions outlining dynamic relations between elements and then implements them as software.

Process 4 (Software 1): A rectangular surface filled with varying sizes of Element 1. Draw a line from the centers of two Elements when they are touching. Set the value of the shortest line to black and the longest to white, with varying grays between.
