Algorithmic Fine Art: Composing a Visual Arts Score

  • Chapter
Explorations in Art and Technology

Abstract

I was born in the year of the great depression, 1929, in the coal fields of eastern United States. Sixty years ago, at the age of 12, I made my first painting using a paint set I bought from a Montgomery Ward catalogue. Later I worked my way through art school, then attended college and spent some years in monastic life. By 1960 I found myself in the milieu of the abstract expressionists in New York.
