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.

Yeah, I still feel like there's a lot unexplored there. Abstract code visualization seems like it would be an interesting project in its own right.
I really enjoyed it and it motivated me to explore some of these techniques in my own projects!
