A grey planet revolves, it’s surface constantly changing texture and shape. Valleys form, mountains sprout out of flat surfaces… such is the creative work of Tom Beddard. An ex-physicist, he likes to make home-brew programs that generate interesting math based images and shapes.

Beddard makes his works interactive whenever possible. He is currently working on a fractal explorer that will allow us to manipulate images like the video featured here. Be sure to check out his blog, including it’s many math based toys at subblue.com.
