 femme fractale

AKA, Lady in Red, illustrates (and is a product of) what Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber dubbed Low-Complexity Art. The image/form/pattern can be computed from a simple/short program, without being obvious to the beholder, and this, is surmised, has an effect in its perceived beauty.

In some way, relating (equating?) Occam's razor with/to beauty.

On why Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth, Kitty's designer/illustrator, Yuko Yamaguchi, replied:
