It is a generative composition of plant forms based on photographs by Karl Blossfeldt. The gorwing algorithms used is similar to L-System, but with additional image processing functions.

 

Don't forget to check out the video which describes the process of making Blossfeldt Fractals.

The machine prints out a souvenir ticket, on which there is a photo of the "passenger", photographs from remote webcams, and all kind of interesting information and trivia about the airport.
