Reminds me of some of the work of Ryan Geiss (the author of several WinAmp visualizers like Geiss and Milkdrop): <a href="http://www.geisswerks.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.geisswerks.com/</a>
Hee, nostalgic! I used to play around with POV-Ray a lot in the 00s; at that time there were quite a few extremely skilled artist-coders in the community [1]. Shame that the software has since fallen into relative obscurity - I wasn't even aware the dwindling developer team actually managed to get a final 3.7 release out in 2013 after years of betas and release candidates.<p>[1] See eg.

... and here I thought the landscape art bot I started yesterday was good. I've got a long way to go. <a href="https://twitter.com/LandscapeArtBot" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/LandscapeArtBot</a>
The POV-Ray source files are included.

I put the source files on Github for easier browsing: <a href="https://github.com/mscharrer/povray_scenes/tree/master/abstract_scenes" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mscharrer/povray_scenes/tree/master/abstr...</a>
Anyone know other nice visualizations of prime numbers?
I was particularly struck by this one: <a href="https://mscharrer.net/povray/primes/2/" rel="nofollow">https://mscharrer.net/povray/primes/2/</a>
