Description

What is Pick153? There is book about maths by C. Pickover where you can read that
153 = 1*1*1 + 5*5*5 + 3*3*3
and that there are only very few numbers with this property. The texture I tried out here makes use of this fact and tests how far the numbers in the image plane are away from this property...
The frame is based on ideas in Kali by Paul DeCelle

Wonderful! I love the tension of it, and how the beautiful colours you've chosen ease that tension just enough to keep things interesting -- very beautiful : )
