Located in the Bullfrog Hills, Nevada, Rhyolite is a ghost town which came into existence as the result of a gold rush that began in 1904.Rhyolite had its peak population from 1905 to 1910, when decreased gold production led to a decline that culminated in its abandonment by 1919.
Rhyolite has a number of crumbling, old buildings. But before you reach them, you’ll probably be distracted by a collection of odd outdoor art projects.

Using Processing (A programming language created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context ), video artist Glenn Marshall has created a mesmerizing 100% programmed/generative computer art: Metamorphosis.
