“Future Alterations” by Anders Hoff explores randomly generated art that explores future changes applied to a simple graph. He describes these changes as alterations in which these nested alterations are dependent to other alterations. He created a dependency graphs of futures. The graphs started with a single straight line or edge and then proceeds to select edges at random. The edges sometimes split in the middle or rotate around to produce new edges. I founded the implementation interesting because of its simplistic nature, but the results can be drastically different from one another. Hoff describes how having this functionality allows him to write an algorithm that almost looks like pseudo code. From my own experiences with coding, I can safely assume that he is using random variables in his functions, which result in multiple future changes.
