Skhoinarion uses his own custom software to make mathematical art, ranging from the architectural to the strikingly natural. His animations feature digital and digitally-manipulated analog content and are also quite remarkable.

In terms of content and intent, this artist's work strikes me as very similar to what my friends were doing in the late sixties with mineral oil, color agents, and overhead projectors...that is: light shows.

Even though the music wasn't as fantastically great as it seemed to be back then, well, it was better than the generic disco/electronica I hear here.

Although...the organic/textural content of a couple of pieces here is really nice.

Fractals. I went through a phase of doing that. Sylvie Gallet was always my favorite fractalière. This fellow doesn't really seem to have an eye for the pretty stuff...

Guess he didn't like the comments here, 'cause he's taken his art off-line forever (see first link) as of 12/30. Pussy.
