Speaker: Scott "Spot" Draves
Title: Dreams in High Fidelity

Fractals / graphics
The electric sheep - graphic display between thousands of people (like seti at home)
Apothesis - multi user graphics display
Dreams of High Fidelity - open source network + refined version (to bring in the money)
1992 - Iterated Function System - Hutchinson (81), Barnsley (88) - Michael Barnsley ("fractals everywhere" - book) - linear functions / B&W
Non-linear function parameters -> more interesting
1999 - Distributed screen saver - created by everyone in the network. Everyone sees the same on the screen.
2003 - generic algorithm - people vote (using up and down buttons) when the screensaver is running -> then the "good" ones stay longer.
