The following are the results from tweaking the program I presented in my last entry. I decided to see what happens when I got rid of the lines, and just let the circles fill the screen. I was pleasantly surprised!! As you can tell, I made minor changes to the code and got many, many different results. The following are a select few:
( Lot's more under cut!! )
My first few visual works generated entirely through code, in the Processing language. All are randomly generated from the same code (though with some obvious slight tweaks.) The heart of the code is an iteration that randomly selects a point on the screen and draws a line. Each drawn line extends until it hits the edge of the screen, or hits another line. This repeats for anywhere between 24,000 and 30,000 times.
And in the case of the fourth one... I have it draw a cirle where ever it crashes into another line.

Also a couple screen shots from my increasingly complex artificial life simulation. Though, the pictures aren't much to look at, the real entertainment is seeing them in motion. Swimming around, latching onto food and humping each other...
