just check out the Computer Graphics World website. The url for the article is impossibly long so I'm not linking here. Besides, it's more fun to browse through the issues which go back to 1999. Directions for finding the 25 years retrospective ... article are in my September 26 entry.
Of course, finding the correctly formatted article on the magazine website sort of takes the shine off finding it through my local library, but I still think that databases of magazines and journals available through libraries are a wonderful resource.

Fibonacci animation from Computer Graphics World
I found a reference to this animation in an article entitled 25 years retrospective: from humble beginnings, computer art transcends traditional media: part 1 digital art in the January 2002 issue of Computer Graphics World (vol. 25, issue 1 (p. 18).
I had printed off the article in 2002 while I still had access to InfoTrac at my workplace (University of Saskatchewan Library). There were no graphics included when I had the article emailed to me. When I came across it again today, I decided to see if my local library had a copy on InfoTrac. Well, it did, fully accessible to library card holders, and with both PDF and text copies. The PDF is pretty awful, and the text copy has small pictures but between the two and my original text-only copy, I can figure out what text goes with what picture.
The article provides a good overview of computer art as found in Computer Graphics World. I wanted to see if I could find better copies of some of the art so I went Googling and found this animation at video.google.com. What is really neat is that it was created at a construction company.
