alt Hacker NewsYears ago. I dabbled in generative art. I even wrote a small Forth-like language to control the generation. It's basically controllable chaos with math or chaos within bounding patterns. The results were often unexpected. Some examples: https://imgur.com/a/UjWLy7s

These are sick. Color, contrast, composition, patterns, etc. Really inspiring stuff. Reminds me how digital art used to feel ~20 years ago.

This is beautiful. I'd really love to see some serious discourse about the place that generative art should have in our society and about what art really means in today's age of overconsumption.
I'm not sure art is still meant to be a widely shared experience and smarter people than should tackle this idea.
