Quite impressed with this; only thing 'wrong' with it is that the gray/black color should erase rather than add. Thanks for the source link Void_.

I do a fair bit of generative music stuff, so I'm impressed with that part as much as the pretty colors: http://new.weavesilk.com/?czw6

Ok this was mine : http://new.weavesilk.com/?czgl Would love to see a retina iPad version of this.

If you took this graphical art concept and combined it with the generative music concept of apps like Brian Eno's bloom, you'd have an absolutely amazing app

You'll probably like Borderlands: http://www.borderlands-granular.com/app/

I'm a hardware guy, but that tempts me to pick up an iPad.

Interesting idea - I had implemented a similar symmetry concept in one of my ios apps ( http://gravitypaint.com - if you want to check it out). Why not extend it to also cover radial symmetry - should be easy to add and you can let the user set the angle etc...

All I get is a parked domain on gravitypaint.com

I am sorry, but what am I missing - where is the interaction? I can't interact with the art I create. What is the difference between this and Photoshop (or any other image editor for example) except for it being browser based and playing some sounds in the background?

It is very well done, and what you can make with it is very impressive. Good work!
