Jared Tarbell created some unique generative works, including my favourite, Happy Place http://www.complexification.net/gallery/machines/happyPlace/. This work assings colours as friends or enemies and reorganises them around a circle in generatve steps, tracing thier positions. I remade tis work in c++ for openframeworks, and then further adapted as an iPad application and to use live captures, as well as tracing its progress in 3d.
Here are some results from those experiments.
