Gen Art

Farcaster channel for sharing and discussing anything generative made using code, but especially art.

Me: "Hi, I make Generative Art"
Everyone: "Cool, me too, look what I made with Midjourney"

So that's why I've been using the term Algorithmic Art for code-driven Generative Art lately, as opposed to AI-assisted Generative Art.

And tried to define it:

Already seen AI artwork labeled simlly as “generative art”, so I applaud the effort. My concern would be that algorithmic art sounds even more dry? 

I’ve played with rule-based / aleatory, parametric immediately sounds like math class. 😅

Agree it sounds a bit dry. But it’s growing on me.

To me it just makes more and more sense. The core distinctive idea is not that this type of art is generative, but that there’s intention about the algorithms, and artists control them to get the output they want.
