Neat site! Minor usability thing -- I might suggest reducing the velocity of the animations, their current speed is a little unsettling.
Cool article. Reminds me of the flash days .. where working with splines / bezier curves on day-to-day web projects was pretty much the norm. Dynamic motion guides, natural distribution around a shape. Not to mention visual experimentation like this. None of this pre-destination layout engine mumbo jumbo. The whimsical web was where it was at :)
Splines are also a great tool to know about when you're trying to approximate smooth curves from sparse data! I reached for splines and martingales a ton when we were developing a patient simulator.
The circles remind me of an enso https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D
Cool!

I’ve been a long time fan Anders Hoff’s work - it’s well worth it to check the other posts on incovergent.net - quite a few have been covered here on hacker news.
Interest also to see how he has moved to Lisp over time, functional programming seems to work well for him for this type of generative art.
Lastly - I think it’s refreshing to still see this on the front page : beautiful generative art without DNNs…
