+=== Inspiration ===
+Below is a list of resources provided by scientists, artists and designers,
+that rely heavily on nature inspired self-organisation in their work.

 Some chapters are quite relevant to the kind
 of systems we are going to explore in our course.

+'''Nervous System'''
+[http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/about_us.php Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Eisenberg] are making use of self-organisation to generate 2D and 3D printable forms.<br>
+Their work relies on scientific models of growth, such as [[Diffusion Limited Aggregation]] and [[Laplacian Growth]] which we will explore in our course.

+'''Jonathan McCabe'''
+[http://jonathanmccabe.com/ Jonathan McCabe] is a scientist who uses self-organisation to create art.<br>
+His works are visually stunning and unique, and the code behind them is a well-kept secret.<br>
+However the open source community has managed to recreate some of his algorithms in Processing.
+We will study those algorithms and explore the kind of patterns they can create.
