The folks over at wikiHow have a good introduction on producing latte art. For those into Latte Art, also check out the diverse groups on flickr themed “espresso porn“

A short tango clip called Contrapunto (by Jean-Pierre Jacquet, 2004): hand-drawn animation of a dancing couple in Buenos Aires, exploring the details of the tango.
The short clip “Tango Ghosts (2005)” is a tango nuevo style video clip to Gotan Project’s Santa Maria…. Interesting visuals — the whole clip is in inverted colors, making the dancers appear like ghosts on a one-colored background. In addition the scene is shot from multiple angles, projected on top of each other, just the first few seconds are single-scene. The dancing is OK, but nothing too fancy, stylish or “high class” — as far as I can tell.
Much more interesting is the real background story to this clip: is creators are Beatfix, a group of VJs who do stuff like this in real-time as video performance. And I have to say, this really looks cool. Imagine the possibilities… many more examples can be found at beatfix’s website!
Peter Miller has created a great gallery of images which, as you might say it, are art in its automated sense. His creation — images of organic materials, flowers and other similikes — are not painted nor created by hand, but by math.
All kinds of vital organic patterns, textures and shapes arise from descriptions that seem purely mechanistic and devoid of life.
Long gone are the days where Life itself seemed to be just a couple of lines of code in mathematica. THIS is enjoyable and visible, and much easier to understand for the layman.
Goldener Schnitt - Wikipedia Der Goldene Schnitt (lat. sectio aurea) ist ein bestimmtes Verhältnis zweier Zahlen, meist Längen von Strecken, das in der Kunst und Architektur oft als ideale Proportion und als Inbegriff von Ästhetik und Harmonie angesehen wird. Darüber hinaus tritt es auch in der Natur in Erscheinung und zeichnet sich durch eine Reihe interessanter mathematischer Eigenschaften aus.
