ART MATRIX
Robert P. Munafo, 2010 Sep 20.
Art Matrix (also called ART MATRIX) was a business devoted to fractal art and educational resource materials. Owned and operated by Homer W. Smith and Jane E. Staller, it origined with early fractal exploration work being performed by the owners in connection with their work at the Cornell National Supercomputer Facility.
Originally doing business entirely through the mail (via an address in Ithaca, NY), Art Matrix eventually established an internet presence at artmatrix.com. (Another site, http://www.lightlink.com/artmatrix/, became defunct in 2006)
