Thanks for the tip, Luc! How about an example of your art! Tres

Fractals will always amaze me!

Well it looks very interesting and I would love to try it out but when I tried to run the java applet on the home page the window that opens is quite small and I am missing some of the info. I have no way of dragging the window to enlarge it. Also is there a windows version that I can download. I couldn't seem to find one. Fran

Hi Vivian, Fran, Vivian, thanks to ask but I'm in a periode of lack of inspiration, I use this time to study a lot of fractal related stuff but I produce nothing interesting... Fran, this software is in java go to the second link download the software and be sure to have a recent java machine install on your computer: http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html Cheers, Luc

Hi Luc, I was curious, so I downloaded it. That went ok, but now I have all kind of files and folders and I really don't know how to get this programme started! Maybe you van help me? Greetings Marit

Hi Marit, You should have a folder titled Kandid-0.2.2 Open this folder and you will see a file called "Kandid Executable Jar File" which is 556kb. Click or double click on this file and wait several seconds. The programme should then open. (You need to have a recent java machine installed on your computer for the programme to work. http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html) Because I know nothing about java or java machines I found the whole process of getting this programme to run a bit confusing. It took me a couple of days to get it going. Hope it doesn't take you that long :-) As for the programme itself. It is quite easy to use and I find the whole idea and concept of genetic art very fascinating. It is fun to play with. However the images themselves at this stage seem a little basic to me. Maybe because this artform is still in its developing stages? Hopefully in the future with more programme improvements the images that are produced will be much more sophisticated. Fran
