Generative Art

Generative art is art that is autonomously produced by itself. The artist sets up a situation and then looks at the work achieved; for example, the artists who leave the freely expand on the canvas can be defined generative.
But it is with the computer that this approach reveals its potential: through programming that includes random or in elements the artist can produce a unique code an infinite variety of works on the same style.
A common feature of many generative and programmatic works is their visual complexity: the use of computers in fact allows a superhuman work that would take hours and hours of work by a person but an actual processor resolves quickly because is capable of millions of calculations.

Working with generative art requires great study and continuous updating.  Tim Rolls knows it, in fact with SuperColony project he has committed to create every day a new composition with a generative software such as Processing.
