[edit] briefly more information
Ken Musgrave, formerly a professor at George Washington University, currently CEO/CTO of Pandromeda, Inc, is a computer artist. His work was featured in an article in the January 1996 Scientific American (Playing Slartibartfast with Fractals; January 1996; by Gibbs), about fractal curves. The article described software that he had designed which would generate entire planets at random, and allow a user to walk about that world, exploring mountains or forests, etc. The article mentioned (perhaps jokingly?) that the software would find itself used in a computer game and that the randomly generately landscape would be populated with evil monsters. Actually, the software eventually because a commerical title called 'MojoWorld'. More information is available at http://www.pandromeda.com/.
I think that because of the contributions he's made to computer art, and fractal mathematics he may be worthy of a Wikipedia article. At any rate surely it is something worth investigating.
