This one is proof the nonsense can be deterministic ... and that design can be intelligent and utterly useless. Perhaps that is the definition of a great deal of art.

Although I hear what you're saying .... Would this have been done without the (at least possible) plans to use it for the video? Entertainment -- even eye-candy -- is a use.
I agree - I didn't say it had no value - I said it was nonsense. I happen to enjoy a great deal of nonsense - within the context of nonsense.
But you did say "utterly useless" ...
Ah - I was using the term 'use' as in - solving a problem, producing work, etc. I suppose 'increasing enjoyment' is a type of use. I think it rises above utility. Useful things are valuable because they provide us with the free time to do useless things. I'm pretty sure the best things in life are utterly useless, totally temporary, and entirely too expensive.

Good luck to him in overhauling the Health Care System.  Then he needs to start on the Education System.

"In the middle of OK that was pretty brave. Good thing her neighbors lost their TV sets. (I know, that probably sounds insensitive, but I am originally from KS, so I stand by the comment.) "

"Mindy, I was speaking with a coworker of mine about 30 mins ago who lives in Rockford.  She said no rain there last night but a couple of flights to O'Hare were diverted to the Rockford airport.  It was fairly nasty here.   "
