There's an undeniable aesthetic quality to many network visualizations featured on VC, but what's interesting is to notice how the allure of intertwined complexity is contaminating many artists from more traditional realms (painting in particular) in what seems to be the emergence of a new artistic trend or movement.

Made in Adobe Illustrator, these compositions clearly embody many of the characteristics of this artistic movement, pulling us in through the intriguing appeal of network visualization.
