Using the Processing language, Mark Nystrom has taken data streams of complex natural phenomenon from a number of sources to produce a series of striking visualizations;
Digital Clouds
In the search for graphic coding systems, Nüdel came across the work of Dutch Master, Karel Martens. Martens work includes commercial wall fabric designs for Maharam. Based on the deconstruction of a photograph of clouds, taken on the day of his Grandson's birth, Martens reimagines the Pixel;
Solar Canopy
Listening to a TED lecture by Dan Barasch last week, Nüdel came across this solar canopy proposal for an underground park in New York's Lower East side, with a geometry similar to Nüdel's Galapagos.
The TED lecture can be found at:

The Amplituhedrom
This is one of Nüdel's favorite scientific discoveries of recent times, the amplituhedron:

The amplituhedron is a jewel-like geometric structure that takes particle interaction equations, which can be thousands of terms long, and simplifies them to a single term.
A potentially astonishing consequence of this figure is that a space-time is merely a property of the universe that emerges from the mathematics of geometry.
Nudel ID Tags
In our search of a revised identification coding system, Nüdel stumbled upon the work of pioneering algorithmic artist Manfred Mohr recently

Mohr produced amongst the earliest computer generated art including a 1973 animation that mines the same territory as Sol LeWitt's Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes
Nüdel is now testing the Mohr/LeWitt degenerate cube figure as a replacement coding system for Nüdel components
