It would be really interesting to see how, concretely, the maths and the programming that create this interact. The description doesn't give us any sense of this, or how much "voluntaristic" initial artist input there is - surely *some* initial conditions must be specified -colours, co-ordinates, whatever? As it stands the description verges on arm waving & mystification... It all looks *quite nice* in a theme-parky kind of way. Maybe, with an appreciation of the pains the artist took to get to it, it could provide some nourishment - at the moment, for me at least, it's candyfloss and no more... michael
