GENERATIVE ART
Programming an algorithm that can be used as a tool for making generative art.
Try it yourself
This project delved into the world of generative art. That is, computer-generated algorithms that can, in collaboration with humans, create art. The interesting part here, is that the computers ads a variable of randomness. The ultimate outcome of an artpiece is therefore to an extent, unpredictable and not as limited by human imagination.
The algorithm has been programmed using P5js.
Feel free to try out the drawing tool yourself! Here is how it works:
The tool draw in lines, rectangles or in arcs, which rotates at a certain speed.
- Hold down mouse to draw.
- Press ‘d’ to change angle and slower rotation-speed.
- Press ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’ or ‘0’ to change between a set colours for the arcs.
- Press ‘r’ to change to a random colour within RGB.
