Bizarre.  And very cool.

Two thumbs up :)

Contrast! Hard geometric structure VS. the softness of a piece of fabric blown 
by the wind.

Great!
Watching it, you are feeling so small.
Somehow it reminds me of the Borg from star trek. :)

    I think the cloth should be a newspaper blowing in the wind. That would 
add a lot more realism to this good image.

A newspaper would give it a time stamp. As is, it is timeless. The cloth can be
anything you want, as in a dream, milking your creativity. I find it curios
when someone asks, "what is that"? It is exactly what you want it to be.

One those interesting, better images.

This one and the previous 'Background' are mind stimulating structures. 
There should be a way to reproduce those structures is SDL? Some kind of 
recursive macro using blobs perhaps?

It just hit me what is special about this image: It is incredibly
dream-like. It is not just surreal--it feels like a dream.

The cloth really does go a long way to help this feeling. My only
complaint is that the cloth looks like it is hanging from an invisible
clothesline, rather than floating freely.

Very nice. :-)

I'm also thinking about this. Well.. blobs are primary round and organic. To be
like this geometry, the code has to use boxes ore something...
If I find a way to automate this process in PovRay code I'll share it :)

isosurfaces are the only way to use boxes in blobs.

I thought more to generate patterns, and then generate real boxes after it.
Something like this...

Means, animate a pattern and put boxes in the z-axes after it, like using a
"mosaic" effect in a graphics program. When a box in the picture is light enough
then, a 3D-box will being generated in PovRay.
