Generative art

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The generative art or English. Generative art is a contemporary form of artistic creation, whereby the focus is not necessarily on the work of art or end product, but rather on the process of creation and the ideas on which it is based.

The work or product is created through the processing of a procedural invention, i.e. a set of rules or a program created by the artist, which is recorded, for example, in the form of natural language, musical language, a binary code or a mechanism.

Processing takes place in a self-organizing manner, in the form of a relatively autonomous process, for example through actions that - as in the score for a happening - are carried out according to available instructions, through a computer program that processes instructions, image information or other concepts, or through other media and Tools. The process takes place differently under different production conditions. The result moves within more or less given limits, but is unpredictable.

Generative art often serves artists as a means of avoiding intentionality .
