LIA created a generative application which expresses feelings of summer. Slow-moving zigzag lines are generated as bands going across the screen. These colors and textures are sampled from images of beaches and ocean waves. LIA herself is based in Australia. She is considered a pioneer in the medium of generative art on the internet. Although the work is created with code, many traditional drawing and painting concepts are employed to create an artwork. The ‘Summer’ series should give the audience feelings of calmness and heat. The lines simulate ocean waves as they roll into the shore where you sit watching. Lines cross in these bands, which appear like reflections in the water and waves. It is important to note that perspective is considered in the widths of the bands in order to convey the depth and distance of the ‘waves.’ LIA also created 3 other versions: Spring, Fall, and Winter, which employ their own pallets to express their respective season. Together, the series is called Four Seasons, which all use live generative art to create a moving image. Below is a random still from ‘Summer’.
