I had an art program on a Dec PDP11-34 in the late 70s, that continuously overpainted the picture right to left with a new shaded abstract picture, to give the machine something to do at night. The guards came in and spent hours watching it.
An hour? What's it running on - a Tandy 1000? Doesn't photo editing software do something like this in an instant?
A human artist with the right skills could look at both images and do this faster if he could just lay down the ink as fast as a modern printer can. The printer is where the action is. What the hell is the computer doing for an hour - looking at porn and playing with his hard disk?

There is an algorithm that can play any piece of music in the style of any great master... Chopin, Beethoven and so on.
I think it does its best job reproducing the style of the Cubist Picasso (lower left painting) probably because Cubism is also cooly analytic.

Like to meet the guy who did that.
