Generative art artikel
You mention a friction between software art and generative art scenes. What do you think the reason is for this friction?
Well, they are often confused by the art world, and I think that’s a source of frustration for both groups. I think that has added to the need for software art and generative art to explicitly state their differences. But the philosophical frameworks are quite different, even though both deal with software as a material. Software artists are interested in software as a social and political construct, and often take an ironic or demagogic position. Many are involved in the Open Source movement as a part of their practice.
Generative artists focus on aesthetic systems, where the software is just an abstraction or tool used to create and display the work. Software art demands to see the code behind the systems ruling our world, while generative art is more often ‘out of this world’, unconcerned with social responsibility. Granted, the newer generation seems more hip to Open Source issues (and hence better at sharing their code), but they’re still far from being politically engaged in software.

Generative art en Algorithmic art
Generative art refers to art that has been generated, composed, or constructed in an algorithmic manner through the use of systems defined by computer software algorithms, or similar mathematical or mechanical or randomised autonomous processes.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Musikalisches Würfelspiel” (Musical Dice Game) 1757 is an early example of a generative system based on randomness. The structure was based on an element of order on one hand, and disorder on the other.
Algorithmic art is a subset of generative art, and is practically always executed by a computer. If executed by a computer, it is also classified as computer-generated art, but in much computer-generated art the role of the computer is confined to the execution. In contrast, in algorithmic art the creative design is the result of an algorithmic process, usually using a random or pseudo-random process to produce variability. Algorithmic art is also related to systems art.
It is usually digital art, although a number of artists work with plotters. Fractal art is an example of algorithmic art.

Onderzoek Masterproef
Ik ga deze blog voortzetten met het onderzoek voor mijn masterproef. Het is de bedoeling de lijn verder te zetten van de afgelopen drie jaar. Het is niet de bedoeling iets volledig nieuw te beginnen, maar om verder te werken op wat ik reeds begonnen ben. Daarom hoef ik ook geen nieuwe blog te beginnen.
Tetristypeface
Ik heb het tetrisfont aangemaakt in fontlab, met de volgende resultaten als gevolg. Hoewel ik de meeste er al heb uitgehaald, zitten er nog steeds een aantal schoonheidsfoutjes in. Maar grafisch gezien toch al een leuk resultaat…
Doedelzetel
Er werd hier door verschillende mensen aan gewerkt. Dit geeft mee dat er wordt verdergewerkt op de tekeningen van andere mensen… (toevalsfactor)
