The inspirational work for me this week was definitely Weird Faces by Moka. Previous to being exposed to this work, I always assumed computer generated art to have a certain aesthetic such as hard clean lines, or hyper data driven simulations. However, mokas delicacy and deconstructing his own style and recreating it through a series of algorithms seems to blend that line between computation and art for me. I suppose the algorithms have to somehow mimic the way his hand flows and decides on the shape of the faces as well as the style for the rest of the face. The styles I’m assuming he codes a couple simple algorithms and lets a random generator mix and match various “designs” together to create new ones. In this case, Moka’s artistic sensibilities directly show on the board through the algorithms directly dissecting and recreating his style in a new way.
