About Genartive

The art on this website is generated by algorithms that endless variations on each theme.

Sample .PDE codeFor each theme, I create a Processing.js application to define the general layout, colour palette, and other components of a scene. I then introduce some serendipity by having the code subtly vary the details of the rendering based on a random seed between 1 and 1 billion.

After careful trial and error, my aim is to achieve a level of randomness that makes the results surprising and interesting, but still figurative and realistic.

Sample Code
