    Aaron--do you know Ernst Haeckel's "Art Forms in Nature"?

    The design of your new pieces reminds me more and more of it... It's as if with digital means you are approaching (unintentionally?) that nineteenth-century fine-line engraving style.

    I was not aware of the work you mentioned. I think I know what you mean alot of my work ends up being reminiscent of the kinds of designs one might find in a giant circular cathedral window, and are also similar to some islamic art. I don't know if this is coincidence or if I might use similar mathematical principles in my work.

    extra simple animation: you could use QuickTime Pro ( I think it comes free with the latest OS, otherwise it's - I forget - 30 dollars) and create an image sequence, set the timing etc -- there's also 'photo to movie' which is cheap but not free, yet easy to use. there are probably others I don't know about.... it could be fascinating to see these relentlessly intense disks actually evolve from static grids.
