Generative art refers to art that has been generated, composed, or constructed through the use of computer software or similar mathematical, mechanical, or randomized processes. Generative art was pioneered in the 1960s by Dr. Desmond Paul Henry, who modified analog bombsight computers employed in World War II bomber aircraft to become "drawing machines." Today, the emergence of a new generation of generative artists has elevated the computer’s artistic capabilities to increasingly elaborate levels of complexity. One of our favorite artists currently working in this field is Leonardo Solaas. Explore his interactive piece Void here.
