Getting Started With Generative Art. Generative art as defined by Philip Galanter is, “Any art practice where the artist creates a process, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other mechanism, which is then set to motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a complete work of art.” I became a huge fan of generative art after I went to a presentation by Joshua Davis at Adobe Max. His presentation was on his new experimental work, titled “space”. It was a real treat to see how Joshua pushes himself and his work to the next level. He is by far a master in this area. After the workshop, I was really inspired to find as many resources as I could on creating generative art.

I personally like the idea of generating art inside of Flash with some ActionScript. Processing Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.

Unique experience Black Ink also feature a fresh user experience with its clean and responsive user interface, instant access to brushes and colors history and real time visual brush preview. Grow Your Own Picture. Evolving the Mona Lisa Welcome! Click start to see genetics in action, as a randomly generated collection of shapes evolve to resemble a given picture. How it Works This page uses a genetic algorithm to model a population of individuals, each containing a string of DNA which can be visualised in the form of an image.

By starting with a population consisting of a randomly generated gene pool, each individual is compared against the reference image (the one on the left), and the individuals can then be ranked by their likeness to it, known as their "fitness", with the best fit being displayed on the output image (the one on the right). By breeding the fittest individuals from the population, the DNA which produces the most accurate representation of the reference image is selected over successive generations, effectively demonstrating the power of a natural selection process to produce the best candidate for any given environment.
