"Generative art" software which evolves images/textures/patterns through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution. If you like lava lamps, and still think the Mandelbrot set is cool, this could be the software for you.

Fraqtive is an open source, multi-platform generator of the Mandelbrot family fractals. It uses very fast algorithms supporting SSE2 and multi-core processors. It generates high quality anti-aliased images and renders 3D scenes using OpenGL. It allows real-time navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview.

Interactive application to generate and view random fractal planets and terrain with oceans, mountains, icecaps and rivers, then export them to POV-Ray format or Blender. Written in C++ using Qt and OpenGL.

Take two reference points and use them to define an x-axis. Then add in some other points to form any pattern. Use each reference point with each pattern point to form a new x-axis on which each pattern point is reiterated. Throw in a few more dazzling features (such as colors, a visualizer mode, blending, render exporting, and more) and you have a Recursion Lab.

Nodescripter is a node based scripting engine, designed mainly for artistic use in both graphic and audio forms. Nodescripter currently uses GLFW for opengl rendering and user input.

Tux's Turtle is a drawing environment for children. It uses geometrically-based "turtle graphics" (well known from Logo) but is completely immediate and programmed using single keypresses (like Delta Drawing). No knowledge of the editor is necessary.
