He also has some interesting links.
Click the image to visit the extraordinary interactive Soundtoys site. By far the best use of Shockwave I've seen, the site features its equivalent of interactive java applets by a number of contributors. Interaction generates algorithmic-influenced image and sound.
More similar interactive shockwave and other material can be found at Steve Tanza's highly recommended Stanza and also at his http://www.thecentralcity.co.uk .
http://www.artsurfer.net links both to centralcity and to other interesting netart.

Another fine set of interesting java applets is on writer Greg Egan's site [click the image to go there]. Clicking on the applets once they're running often resets or alters them. More applets are scattered about his site, which also contains sf stories and science articles.

not algorithmic, if you browse the site for "eye candy" type programs you
can find a large number scattered about. Click the picture to go to the
site.
