I always love seeing anything following the philosophy of emergence[0], I think the "composition of simple rules leading to organic unpredictable complexity" is a powerful metaphor that can help understand nearly any natural phenomena.<p>It's exciting to see the increasing emergence of this idea (see what I did there) in modern science & industry, such as in MIT's Mediated Matter lab[1].<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence</a>

I was lucky enough to see the show live in London in the beginning of December. It was stunning, one of the most beautiful blends between music and visuals that I've ever seen.<p>I really hope Max will release the entire thing on DVD, I would buy it in a heartbeat for all my friends. He has a few shows coming up in Europe, if you guys are nearby you won't regret it.<p>He has the first third of the show up on his Facebook page (it was broadcast live and Facebook keeps the videos). Sadly I can't find how to share the URL.
None of the "View More" links work in Firefox. Event handlers should use the events passed to them, not window.event. Quick fix in the console:<p><pre><code> window.event = {preventDefault:()=>{}}</code></pre>
Max also did a very nice Essential Mix for BBC two years ago. (The mix also introduced me to Niels Frahm, which I found very enjoyable. Check out his album <i>Spaces</i> if you don't know where to start.)<p><a href="https://m.mixcloud.com/livesetsdjmixes/max-cooper-essential-mix-sat-02-28-2015/" rel="nofollow">https://m.mixcloud.com/livesetsdjmixes/max-cooper-essential-...</a>
So it looks like almost all of them are videos, but only some of them look vimeo-playable. Does anyone know why, or where to get the full thing?<p>This is gorgeous. It's the thing of thing I want to shove in people's faces when I see unimaginative things like the umpteenth golden ratio overlay on nature or a basic and extremely pixellated rendering of the julia fractal.
My favourite among the vidoes is "Adaptation", for the song "Order From Chaos", created by French VFX artist Maxime Causeret: <a href="https://vimeo.com/196269431" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/196269431</a>
