I own a few of these books, purchased from a local Oxfam. They contain pretty much everything you need to know about each “wild place” and are packed with stunning landscape and wildlife photography however none quite so dramatic as the above shot.
John Maeda “Dots” 1996. One in a series of four prints experimenting with a variation of the dot size. Here the dots appear to chase toward the centre.

I came across this book in Manchester Central Library, published in 1987 it’s an anthology of Computer Art from the time when 16 bit Amiga’s, and Atari’s had just started to replace C64′s and ZX Spectrum’s as home computers. As you can imagine the book contains plenty of duff art including bad 3d models of manniquins, mirrored balls etc and of course the obligatory Mandlebrot Fractal Set. Much more interesting however was some of the earlier 60′s/70′s Computer and Plotter experimentation examples of which are above.
This Illustration has been pulled from my unorganised ‘inpsiration’ pile of clippings/photocopies I’ve been collecting since University. Alas I’m not sure of the Tiltle or the Artist, though the wonderful detailing is similar in style to the work of Aubrey Beardsley and I’m guessing from the same era.

If you’ve decided to read this blog from start to finish, I warn you that the initial quality of writing is somewhat less than I’d like to think it is now! And therefore may include gratuitous swearing, I’ll informed observations and F*ck all research – still there’s plenty of nice imagery I think!
