Thanks for reading! I’m particularly interested in hearing how a technical audience responds to art like this. Did it resonate for you?

The first one looks like pictures of my eye taken after my doctor scans it with a light (I suppose that's just an angiogram you mentioned later). Those rasters were my favorite, and I love the artful clarity of complexity you achieved. I came away appreciating emergence a bit more. Interesting how the complexity resisted the contrivance during attempts to press it into shapes! (subscribed to your newsletter)

Thank you! I do wonder why the resemblance to veins is so strong. There must be something interesting and emergent going on there, too.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Blood vessels and capillaries. Cool project.

I most resonated with the "Objects in a git object tree, graphed by ants."
This felt very real or close to real for me.
