ARTISTS ON THEIR ART

TENDER EDITORIALS

Most of the generative artwork I see exclusively uses hard, sharp transitions. Some pieces use smooth gradients or basic transparency to create transitions. Very few pieces go beyond that.

Creating Soft Textures Generatively

Based on four years of research and numerous interviews with practitioners, this book uncovers the little known history of early British computer art. It is an amazing story and hard to comprehend that before the onset of personal computers, propriety software and the internet there was a real struggle for access which touched off an explosion of true British pioneering spirit.

A Computer In The Art Room

An artwork may be generative in some ways and not in others. A piece could have generative aspects even if the artist didn’t have that intention. There are ways in which a painting could be considered generative.

What is Generative Art?

This book explores computation, specifically the craft of writing computer code, as a medium for drawing. Exercises, essays, algorithms, diagrams, and drawings are woven together to offer instruction, insight, and theories that are valuable to practicing architects, artists, and scholars.

In this episode I'm joined in studio by Raphael de Courville AKA sableRaph and together we call one of the founders of Processing, Casey Reas, to talk about the history of Processing.org and where they see that going. Like always, the conversation veered in many directions, but we did a relatively good job of staying on track throughout the hour. Personally, I learned a bunch and had a great time.
