Clauser H.R. defines and solidifies what it takes for an art piece to be considered Generative Art
Clauser H.R. discussed the principles of a generative art piece. The most important rule is that the art must not be created by the artist, but rather the art is created by an algorithm which was created by the artist. To put it simply, the artist creates the algorithm and the algorithm creates the art work. -
The first meeting about Generative Art
The first meeting about Generative Art was held in Italy by communities of generative artists and creators. More of these meetings are held occasionally to discuss generative art.
