I'm using Processing in my PhD (something I'll write up here in a couple of months in detail, when I'm finished.) Yesterday, however, the model spewed out a series of the most bizarre images completely randomly.
Here's a link to a gallery of some of them.
At the moment, I have only the vaguest idea how it happened. It's a spatial economic model visualisation. The images are somehow related to where firms have bid their price down to zero, so people are attempting to buy near-to-infinite amounts. More than that, at the moment, I'm not sure! So: accidental art. Probably the happiest my PhD has made me, I think...!
Post-PhD, I'll try some more and work out exactly what's going on. I want to know what role the economic interactions have had in producing the range of patterns, or whether pure randomness would have done just as well.
