With computer generated arts becoming more prevalent, artists haave leaned on photo editing and codes to create new artworks. Another new tool is algorithms – where artists borrow the computer’s ability to generate ‘random’ number plugs to create different shapes, forms, colors in different areas of the digital canvas. Mark Wilson is an artist that very much utilizes the random generation from the computer to create similar, yet different artworks everytime. There is an issue of question if these artworks are truly random as Wilson is virtually telling the computer to pick a number out of the options. However, one thing is for sure, Wilson’s artworks are an interesting showcase of modern art technology. More of his works can be found here.
