A very thougthful design – great that you noticed and shared for us.. even the red filaments could be embryos ..Perfectly fitting for this hotbed of biotech cos. Re the esthetics, it would be interesting to find out the artist’s inspiration and technique.
My educated guess is that complexity and what is beautiful is an as yet unproven but provably impossible question to resolve yet alone frame properly.
Re some neat algorithmic examples – from a modelling of river beds, (by mathematician/ artist Neil Banas) here are some I saw earlier at http://www.flickr.com/photos/neilbanas/518455751/in/photostream
then "mixed" with real photos – once entangled with a complex key image it becomes more uniquely "art"
"Similar algorithm to previous, but 1) rivulets follow the color field rather than a random landscape and 2) some follow the gradient downhill while others follow contours (and overshoot because of inertia). "
The fun part of it is since it is computer generated it can be scaled to arbitrary sizes while retaining arbitrarily high detail.
Neato, this new fusion of tech and art, eh!
