What is Generative Art?
Generative Art performs the idea as process.
Rules as constraint produce a somewhat automatic process.
Rules are used to ensure the next possible step forward.
GA begs the question of what’s possible & what is virtual

What is Generative Art?
Generative Art performs the idea as process.Rules as constraint produce a somewhat automatic process.Rules are used to ensure the next possible step forward.
The intricacies of a GA work often lie in the rational relation between each two steps + the leaps-and-bounds differences at the end of a sequence of operations.

Generative Art?
To generate = to produce, to bring into existence, to bring forward, to present to view or notice…
Generative = capable of producingGenerative procedural, serialist

Generative Visual Arts
TWO kinds of generative systems in 20th-C art history (Diane Kirkpatrick):
Close generative systems:[e.g. conceptual art] in each work a closed analytic structure is set up
which becomes a generator for exploration

history (Diane Kirkpatrick):(2) Organic generative systems:
A work begins with creating one word or idea and uses that to generate the next, and the next and so on…(creating generators)

Re-creating Mondrian
Analysis of a painting by Piet Mondrian
What questions we often ask about a painting do not apply to this situation?
What new, production questions are relevant?

Re-creating Mondrian
Imagine we are asking someone to make an exact copy of the above painting by telling the person exactly what to do step by step ...
What steps would you lay down for someone to reproduce many different Mondrian-like paintings?

Turning a painting into a generator...Exploring the generative potentials of a painting via the use of rules...
The rule:Ask questions about this painting,
apply divergent thinking, exhaust all the possible questions you can think of...
