BIOI started with Artmatic in 2003. Originally I bought it when I switched to OSX to replace the Kai's Powertools texture-explorer plugin, that I used in photoshop to generate quick textures. I soon found out, that it was a very complex application, with the ability to generate many different kinds of images. I also realised that it was difficult to control and master. Actually, Artmatic is one of the most difficult applications I have ever used ( = a lot!).
Stubborn as I am, I have just kept building stuctures, trying to figure out how the individual tiles worked inside an Artmatic tree.
During this process, I have rendered hundreds of images. Now that Artmatic have it's own gallery at Renderosity, I decided to post some of these images here, to share with other people. The artmatic-systems I use is mostly quite simple, because I want to know, what is going on. On the other hand, I also like when the images has a strong and simple graphic visual expression.

I am a freelance webdesigner, graphic designer, a soundartist and experimental musician from Denmark.
As a musician I use a Wacom drawingpad as my main instrument. I have developed this instrument so that it generates sound and visuals at the same time.

Jakob, this is the kind of work I love to see in Artmatic. I had a quick look at your gallery and it's very interesting and impressive. In the above work I am interested, beyond its obvious beauty, in the strange little anomaly in one of the "tubes". Near the top at about one third from the left side there is a dislocation of continuity in one of the tubes. It's as if it was sliced and slightly displaced. All the rest of the vein-like tubes are continuous. Anyway, it's just a small curiosity in a beautiful piece. It doesn't detract and this isn't a criticism. I would encourage people to have a look at your gallery.

Thanks for your comments TinoH! Yes I also noticed the the dislocation, and have no explanation for it. If I get the time, I will study the artmatic-tree from witch, it was rendered, again.
