DESCRIPTION
Artists have always explored new media, and computer-based artists
are no exception. Generative art, an emerging technique where print or
onscreen images are created by use of computer algorithms, finds the
artistic intersection between programming, computer graphics, and
individual expression.
Generative Art presents both the technique and the beauty of
algorithmic art. In it, you'll find dozens of high-quality examples of
generative art, along with the specific programmatic steps author and
artist Matt Pearson followed to create each unique piece. The book
includes concise tutorials for each of the technical components
required to create the book's examples, and it offers countless
suggestions for how you can combine and reuse the various techniques
to create your own works.
KEY POINTS
• Introduction to the principles of algorithmic art
• Brief Processing language tutorial
• Establishing artistic "ground rules" for a new work
• Using random, semi-random, emergent and fractal processes
• Finding fresh approaches to the discipline of programming
• Sixteen-page full-color section of beautiful artwork
