RSSComputational, generative art
Jared Tarbell is an artist and programmer who does gorgeous computational art, coded in the Processing language. And not only are the finished pieces amazing (and available for purchase), but you can also "run" the art, see it grown in a pop-up applet.

Substrate (the first picture in this post) is available in Xscreensaver on the various operating systems that can use it.

The Flash stuff is on his other site, levitated.net. Different style, but also some very cool stuff.

We've built a (free) Flash based computational art generator that is currently in beta. You can check out some videos and screenies of it in action here: http://a.viary.com/blog/peacock/

And... check out Lenny on flickr. He's doing some pretty amazing stuff with processing and a laser cutter.

I've also implemented an optimized and more user-configurable version of the Substrate effect (first picture) as an open source Mac OS X screensaver, available here (top of the page): http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/kkuloves/downloads.shtml
Apart from computational optimizations, this version also allows some different-looking effects to be achieved, for example a darker look or one with curved lines only.
