These are Actionscript 3 generated compositions.
Data are taken from two images. One is a color map, the other is a bump map of sorts. The color map only controls the colors of the stroke. while the bump map controls the width of the stroke, within pre-set limits.
The motion is primarily controlled via epicyclic motion, inspired by early attempts by astronomers to make celestial motion make sense in a terre-centric model of the universe. Given enough epicycles and non-rhythic periods, the motion can become quite chaotic and appear to be whooly random.

Would you call this work art or design?
I have trouble placing it purely in either camp myself. Maybe someone can help shed some light on it for me.
