This is art that is envisioned in detail by the artist, but is rendered (drawn)
by a computer or other device.
Art in the 21st century will contain more and more technology. That makes sense. As new technologies are developed artists have always adopted them. A key problem today is that modern technologies require some knowledge of mathematics and computation to be fully used by an artist. Some of us don't feel we can engage with math and the like.
If you want to paint or draw, you do need certain skills. Those can be learned.
If you want to do generative art the same is true, but the skills differ.
Nonetheless they, too, can be learned.
Nostalga Art
These artworks are generative, and are based on popular culture from the past or
objects/cenes that people might recall with affection.
PDP (2025)
The front console of a PDP/8 I while running. This is a 1960s computer of some note.
An MP4 file of this piece can be purchased for $50.00.
A complete, live version including display, computer, and software in 24" format is available for $2000.00. The display will never repeat. Larger size are available.
Window
View from the window of the starship Enterprise while travelling at warp. Generative,
based on the TV program and random scenes with views of the windows. This is my
intrerpretation, as an algorithm, of what was seen in the program, and differs in detail.
Star colours are drawn from the actual possible star colors in rough proportion to their
actual occurrance, and are more intense to make them more interesting. The streaks were the
most difficult to create, and use my own method.
An MP4 file of this piece can be purchased for $50.00.
A complete, live version including display, computer, and software in 24" format is available for
$2000.00. The display will never repeat. Larger size are available.
Mondrean (2024)
Beginning with his famous masterpiece, the painting decides to change.
Mondreans of this type are horizontal and vertical and use a very limited but vivid palette, which I like. Starting with his iconic Composition with Large Red Plane, Yellow, Black, Gray and Blue (1921) the elements of his painting move and leave the canvas, new elements are created and enter. The focus is horizontal and vertical.

Games
Computer games are a 20th century art form than can erasily be classed as generative, and interactive as well. I have created many computer games, some web pased and others PC based. These are free! Many are 'educational' in some sense.
Sound
Digital audio can be generative. However, I simply have a keen interest in sound: music, effects, ambiance, and voice. I have some resources and works here that could be of interest.
Music is structured sound. This collection includes original msic that you can use, and songs/pieces that are broken into tracks so you can add parts and replace parts.
