it just strikes me as incomprehensible! And there is exactly what I've said. You don't understand it, so you don't appreciate it on the same level. There is beauty there. The fact that you don't see/understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and doesn't mean it has to be something else. .............. but there are plenty of wonderful works of of created purely from someones vision and talent. While the picture you posted is striking and interesting, the fact that it follows linear rules makes it something other than art to me. It is a technical exercise and becomes something more akin to painting by number or a spirograph picture ............

I love the way so many (not all of you) seem to want to say something to the effect of, "But it's maths, so it can't be fun/beautiful." Crazy as this may sound, some of us do actually enjoy it.

I agree, there's plenty of beautiful 'purely creative' works - but then, I always found Spirograph to be creative and beautiful too.

As a linguist, among other things, I do not believe that "beauty" is the correct word to apply, but if that's what you want fella, it's all yours! I am a little prejudiced against Maths for a few not very interesting reasons but that doesn't affect my argument overmuch. Fun also is an interesting one - many different things float people's boats don't they?!

I know people enjoy maths Neko, my sister loves maths and shares many of your views. ............... as they say, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. It's another subjective arguement, and as such you're never likely to reach a consensus.

A consensus isn't really what I'm after - I was just trying to show people that it can be beautiful when applied in given ways. It's not really something people seem too willing to accept though~

As tricks go it's a fairly impressive one ................ I'm thinking of nominating her for the magic circle!! ;D
