• Resumen

  • Here, Aron features an image by Jonathan McCabe of psychedelic cells which are fruit of Alan Turing's equations. Turing came up with a system of equations that describe how two chemicals react together, resulting in surprisingly lifelike arrangements. McCabe developed his algorithm based on Turing's ideas. His program treats colors as different liquids that can't mix together because of an artificial surface tension, which is what gives them a cell-like appearance.
