FAQ About The Role of Algorithmic Art in Modern Creativity
What is generative art, and how does it relate to algorithmic art?
Generative art is a subset of algorithmic art where artists create systems—such as computer programs—that can independently generate art. The terms are often used interchangeably, but generative art specifically emphasizes the autonomous process of art creation. Artists design algorithms that encode stylistic preferences and rules, allowing the generative system to produce a variety of outcomes, often with elements of randomness or evolution included in the design.
