generative art
“any art practice where the artist uses a system,
such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program,
a machine, or other procedural invention,
which is set into motion with some degree of autonomy
contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art”
Philip Galanter, 2003

generative art
“Programming is an interface between man and machine;
it is a clean, logical discipline, with clearly defined aims.
Art is an emotional subject,
highly subjective & defying definition.
Generative Art is the meeting place between the two.”
Matt Pearson – http://abandonedart.org/?page_id=567

generative art
“…is about creating the organic using the mechanical.”
