Extremely rare - evolutionary & procedural art from the 1980s.

​

 

Only a very few of these were ever produced, that computer has long since ceased to exist, the software was never distributed commercially. I was one of the very few beta testers who worked with this.  Some of these examples were eventually displayed at SigGraph, and a few installations (including UCLA and in Brazil)  

 

Since then they have never been reproduced, there is no way to recreate any of this with those original tools.

​

In the mid 1980s, these images were produced on an Amiga 2000.  This content was created by using an experimental raytracing program, RayDance,  developed by a friend (Charlie Comstock), and combined with procedural algorithms, including various primordial "evolutionary" and fractal code scripts. 

 

 

 This was a bit difficult to explain at the time (now this is very commonly done for myriad types of content).  At that time,  this was still a very embryonic concept.  Some artists of that time found the concept of procedurally "grown" art controversial.
