The Eventual Triumph of Art

You don´t often encounter an 80-year-old psychiatrist who uses modular graphics synthesizers and mathematical algorithms to generate vibrant fractal fusions in his spare time. In the strange and creative case of Claude McCoy, he has practiced psychiatry for 50 years but now works only one day a week. After initially downsizing his practice eight years ago, he began experimenting with Bryce on a Macintosh, with which he produced fantasy art and images of tall ships. It didn´t last long. Fractals eventually piqued his interest, but he couldn´t and software with a satisfactory user interface. Enter ArtMatic and the language of algorithmically generated abstractions. With ArtMatic, McCoy´s creative output soared to new heights and depths.
