I found out about this term on my visit to, while looking at Christiane Peschek´s THE FECTH digital art exhibition. From then on, I started looking at different artists around the world and how this new form of art changes the way we perceive art, it creates a new form of experiencing art and how transformative it can be.
But what is it? It is a process of creating new ideas, forms, shapes, colors, or patterns, with algorithms (coding), it’s known as the future of art, a new innovating way of integrating computers with the emotional perception of humans, it is what we know in design the Human-Computer Interaction. A computer generates the content, a human does the curation of it, so another human can experience it.
I realized my first encounter with it was a year ago, in our processing class, creating images and video loops of graphics, made by code. One of the first people to bring this term out in the design week was Joshua Davis, a US designer who was in OFFF Barcelona, he explained the importance of creating generative art and how it has and will change the perspective of graphics.
On my next posts I’ll talk about how other designers, artist and data scientists have brought generative art into an experience.
