Generative Art using Processing
I discovered the magic of generative art or algorithmic art a long time ago.
Generative art refers to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system.
I decided to make my own, so I started learning about JAVA and its visual implementations. I surfed the web and I discovered Processing, a super friendly envirorment that lets you program sketches with the amazing feature of having a console that runs in real time and lets you see the things you create.
Furthermore, there is a dedicated space in their website so people like you or me can share they creations. It is an awesome place to get inspired and to see magnificent art.
So, I used the Processing software sketchbook to program a little sketch that creates an interesting effect using lines that rotate arround in a circlular motion. Every time the mouse is clicked two variables change at random, creating a unique pattern each time.
If you want to play arround and see the sketch live click the link bellow:

Here I post a couple of examples The quality and framerate is not good because they're .gifs.
Can a machine generate something new, meaningful, surprising and of value: a poem, an artwork, a useful idea, a solution to a long-standing problem?
Thank you for reading, I hope you like it!

Thanks for introducing this to me. I'm going to give it a try.
Awesome! I would love to see what you create!
