What is Generative Art?
Generative Art generally refers to computer-generated art.
The term is also used to describe geometric abstract art where simple elements are repeated, transformed, or varied to generate more complex forms, think grown-up Spirograph.
Remember the circular plastic pieces that you used to run around with a pen to create complex patterns, well, welcome to the computer age and the opportunities to generate art with computer code.
Before anyone goes “Urghhhh not for me, I’m no computer expert and coding is beyond me”, please remember this is me writing this, if there is an easy way to do something, I’m going to find it!
What do you need to create Generative Art?
Besides the computer generating side of the process, you need a pen plotter, a drawing robot — a pen plotter is a computer-controlled machine that draws graphics or text with incredible speed and precision.
The image is created by one or more writing implements, which are raised, lowered, and moved over the printing media to draw.
