Hi Alexander

Nice abstract result. Nice colors and shapes. Congratulations. Roldao

It's been a while... I have been quite busy working on improving some of the drawing

algorithms, which in the end turned out to be much more subtle than I suspected:

Various geometric considerations and numerical optimization input was necessary to

keep runtime at a reasonable level. (Whatever 'reasonable' my refer to - this one, for

example, took my computer five hours to compute.)

Looking forward to C&C!

Photography untouched by human hands?  I knew it would come to this.  And interesting spiral swirl effect.  Leading to infinity I guess....

ROLDAO:

Thank you. I am happy to see you like it.

JIM:

I take this as a compliment. :-) Thank you!

GERRY:

You implicitly raise an interesting philosophical question. Well, at least it was the human mind to come up with the formulas and the hands to feed it to a computer. In fact, one could also draw every single step on one's own - but in the end, the computer does a better, more efficient and much more precise job than I ever would. So why not use it...?

By the way, I like your assciation with "leading to infinity" - indeed, that's what I also had in mind when designing this picture.

Thanks a lot for your comment!

Taking about "leading to infinity", I attached a series of pictures to illustrate what we could discover when departing towards infinity.

I really like the perception of depth that this image conveys so well!  It has that Sci-fi element that is prevalent in quite a few of your images, and which for me makes them all the more compelling to view.  I also like the fine textures, something akin to brushed steel that again reinforces the impression of cold precision and advanced technology.

Sincere Compliments!

One of the best abstracts I've seen so far! Seven all the way and congratulations, Alexander!

Best regards

PDE

Alexander,

It was indeed a compliment :-)

ALF:

Thank you for again sharing your valuable thoughts! I am really glad you identified a recurring theme throughout my work.

Concerning "brushed steel": Indeed, I am planning to print this one on brushed dibond ("butlerfinish"). This will be somewhen in the future, but as soon as I hold it in my hands, I will attach a photograph of it.

PIERRE:

Wow! It means a lot to me hearing this from you. Thank you very much for your praise!

JIM:

HA! Got it right ... ;-)
