This reminds me of the beautiful "substrate" screen saver: http://www.complexification.net/gallery/machines/substrate/

I just got it -- thanks for sharing this! Could watch it for hours...

If anyone else wants to download the screensaver, you can get it for linux/osx/ios/android: https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ . Most in the collection aren't great (unless you're in an early-2000s aesthetic mood), but I just installed the substrate one :)

Looks like the author is redirecting the link lol
That is absolutely stunning. My favourite part of flying!

Ach! this reminds me of an artist who worked mostly with Processing ( https://processing.org ) and either did this or something very like it (and a bunch of other stuff.)
Uh are you sure you're not thinking of Jared Tarbell, who made this very piece in Processing?
Oh right! Derp.
Brilliant. Anyone know of an impl ready to roll for macos?
