Lines 2.1 demo

This video is created from the screen capture of Lines 2.1, a real-time virtual dynamic sculpture by Dominic Pukallus. It is an illustration of the emergent complex behaviour of a "flock" or "swarm" of thousands of coloured lines flying through 3D space, each obeying very simple rules. The values given which govern the lines' behaviour are derived from a formula which is used in the computation of the Mandelbrot set. Watch for the "Rainbow Serpent" effect.

The soundtrack is from another work of Dominic's which is available free for download from http://www.last.fm/music/Dominic+Pukallus

How is it different from a screen saver?

[DominicPukallus]

@JagerX2 It doesn't come on when your computer is left alone and go away like a screensaver. It's designed so that you can let it run like a moving picture and interact with it by choosing different camera views with the function keys.
