Why I prefer making useless stuff

This is beautiful, I really don't understand people who don't see the value in creating beautiful or interesting things.

I can understand not wanting to do it, it takes a fair bit of time and energy that only comes with a fair bit of passion on the part of the creator, but not understanding why people would just want to make things? That's fairly alien to me =)...

I'd echo seanwilson and ask that you look at flocking, but also more general boid behaviours[0], small herds of these butterflies flying together in a space would look very cool =)...

Thanks so much! Yeah that idea is really itchy now :)

I guess some people don't see (at least immediately) the artistic value in such things, and then it seems rather pointless.
