For a piece of generative art that I found inspirational, I chose the work “Strich” by Leander Herzog. The work itself is very visually pleasing in its graphic simplicity. There are the same six colors no matter how you interact with it. That being said, it is an interactive work, similar to this weeks project in which one clicks their mouse for a different visual. In this work however, the work will continue to move and develop until the mouse is clicked again. Besides the mouse click aspect, it seems that the forms being constantly generated are random. Lines of one of the six colors, appear, and then they expand their width across the screen in a direction. I find it especially cool that in his case that he applies complex algorithms to very basic geometries, rather than using an algorithm to generate highly complex geometries.
