Holger Lippmann: Noise Scape 4

Holger Lippmann’s Noise Scape 4 series contain generative art pieces that compute randomness in color arrays, shapes, and noise to create beautiful landscape paintings. Although the technicality of these pieces are considered basic, Lippmann says there was a large amount of fine tuning in order to get the result he wanted. Lippmann lets the code run and then generate an output of 100 images, then chooses his favorites from the set.

The result of his art is visually stunning. He creates a lot of random generative art like this one, but this one caught my eye because of its beautiful flowing shapes and calm colors. When viewed from a distance, they really do look like landscapes of color, but zoomed in close, I can see each shape and how it changes.
