If you consider the patterns in nature to be art (which I do!), you might enjoy the book "The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Gary William Flake. [0]

The subtitle is "Computer Explorations of Fractals, Chaos, Complex Systems, and Adaptation".

It's a wonderful book to own as a physical copy, and the contents are very inspiring for generative art.
