This image is a snap shot of «Substrate», an applet realised by Jared Tarbel. Lines likes crystals grow on a computational substrate. «The simple rule, the complex results, the enormous potential for modification; this has got to be one of my all time favorite self-discovered algorithms. Allowing the cracks within the substrate to curve, we see even greater irregularity, including isolated structures merging together in complex ways.» (Jared Turbell).
