Kunstformen der Natur, translated as Art Forms of Nature, is a book of lithographic and autotype prints by German biologist Ernst Haeckel. Originally published in sets of ten between 1899 and 1904 and as a complete volume in 1904, it consists of 100 prints of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself.

Kunstformen der Natur was influential in early 20th century art, architecture, and design, bridging the gap between science and art. Among the notable prints are radiolarians, cnidaria, siphonophorae, semaeostomeae, and other medusae.

Ternary plot

A ternary plot, ternary graph, triangle plot, simplex plot, or de Finetti diagram is a barycentric plot on three variables which sum to a constant. It graphically depicts the ratios of the three variables as positions in an equilateral triangle. It is used in physical chemistry, petrology, mineralogy, metallurgy, and other physical sciences to show the compositions of systems composed of three species.

Particle Form Finding, Agent Based Cluster Identification

This experiment demonstrates how different forms & shapes may emerge from simple particle interactions and dynamic cluster identification. Users may then manipulate these clusters with other geometry manipulation techniques to derive non-uniform / irregular structures. In this experiment, numbers assigned to each cluster as an arbitrary indicator of cluster ID.
