Looking Outwards 03

Line Number – Jennifer Jacobs MIT 2015

Used Algorithms to generate patterns using simple forms, and this was one example that was translated onto wooden panels

I think what I admired the most about this project was how intricate and expressive it was. I normally wouldn’t relate these types of projects to computer generated art, and to see that this was created with an algorithm really inspired me to gain more perspective on what is achievable through this median.

The art was created from a series of simple shapes, and if you look closely it is noticeable. The algorithm isn’t given, but it is very possible to create similar forms of art using specific shapes, and I think that’s very interesting.

I also think that even though it was algorithmically generated art, it still does present the artists own vision and style. Although it is generated, there is still an element of control in the constraints of generation, which I think shows the artists personality.
