Thanks.

I guess I should expand on my previous comment...

Despite what that github page says about not having any reason for making these sculptures, I'm currently thinking of them as a way to highlight the kinds of concepts and technology that our computer-saturated world relies on to operate. Of course the obvious audience is people who already have an understanding of computer science, but by making them aesthetically pleasing I hope to expose people who aren't interested in algorithms to some of the algorithms that influence or make up the technology they rely on. They're intended to be shown in a gallery space, but now that I have space to show in they're more than 500 miles away from me; hopefully I'll put a show together later this year.
