Paging +Robert Munafo. It seems a purely artistic thing, designed to fill in pattern over different scales. But very cool.

Oh, yeah those have been around for a while. The Kyttä thesis is particularly relevant:

Kyttä (2007) Computational Studies of Pattern Formation in Multiple Layer Turing Systems. lib.tkk.fi/Dipl/2007/urn007645.pdf Relevant figures on pp. 51, 55, 58, 59, 62, 63

Multi-layer R-D (reaction-diffusion) patterns closely resemble actual biological multi-layer systems. See for example: Barrio et al. (2009) Modeling the skin pattern of fishes. eprints.maths.ox.ac.uk/775/1/272.pdf

The McCabe work basically uses several (not just two) coupled R-D layers to get a fractal-like result.
