Artwork Based On Diffusion-limited Aggregation
The intricate and organic forms that can be generated with diffusion-limited aggregation algorithms have been explored by artists. Andy Lomas' 'Aggregation' series features ray-traced images and animations of aggregates containing more than 50 million particles. Lomas has presented the series at more than nine galleries and as a sketch at SIGGRAPH 2005, in which he describes his technique.
Simutils, part of the toxiclibs open source library for the Java programming language developed by Karsten Schmidt, allows users to apply the DLA process to pre-defined guidelines or curves in the simulation space and via various other parameters dynamically direct the growth of 3D forms.

Famous quotes containing the word based:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
