this is quite beautiful: the bubble chamber. and lots of beautiful images created in the bubble chamber to see in the bubble chamber’s gallery of collision events. so cool! really wonderful images, rendered by a java applet using Processing.
The Bubble Chamber is a generative painting system of imaginary colliding particles built with Processing. A single super-massive collision produces a discrete universe of four particle types. Particles draw their positions over time resulting in the construction of oddly familiar patterns.
