Generative Design – Julia Laub, 2010

This book documented an emerging scene of artists using a new wave of software(s), such as Processing and VVVV to create generative art. Aside from code examples (which are still relevant) it has large gallery section of artist works.

I remember this arriving in a French publishing house I was working at at the time and the art director asking me if we should publish a French edition. I was like, "Hell, yeah!" I still think this is one of the best books for those wanting to dip into the domain. Beautifully designed too.

Not to forget the online version too which is a stunning feat in itself.

Thanks for the nice side story. It surely was - and remains - one of the best books on generative art and design. It has stood the test of time and still remains current.
