Generative art, a divergent or rather avant-garde genre of art was introduced to me as i took a course in Play & Invent as my project. Being a man who has at very few occasions handled machines, i was excited at working with and on machine functions which can be beautifully understood in the randomized patterns you can see.
The term generative art is used to classify an art piece and the process it uses, to describe random art generation through the independent and unattended functioning of a machine, in a progressive manner.
Generative art thrives on the use of computer programmes that provide artists with an aesthetic, efficient and a much more systematic approach to the work. But what our objective, my course members and i, was to use machines that perform simple tasks (primarily toys, mini-fans and other spare parts), modifying their abilities to complete the tasks at hand. Ours was an approach to create analog generative art machines.
