Not Orchid by Sinet A

In 1952 Alan Turing wrote a paper titled "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" in which he described a theory of how patterns, such as dots or stripes, can arise in homogeneous systems under certain conditions.

In this generative art work a compressible fluid flow is colored and stirred by a multi-scale Turing pattern. A bilateral symmetry is imposed.

The result becomes input to a composite mathematical function made from sines, multiplies, and additions which translates the six dimensional information of position, time and color at each pixel to a point in the three dimensional red-green-blue color-space.
