I found Matthais Dorfelt’s work interesting because of how real it looked compared to a human hand. Specifically in his computer-generated drawings of grief, which reminds me of art from the show Adventure Time. All the works kept the same style and crying aspect with an open mouth, but all were still different. I found it spooky that it looked human-made and not coded. I would assume that whatever algorithm was used had a lot of if-then statements because I would think they ran the same code multiple times to get all the images. Perhaps they had if the body is pink then the mouth has these measurements and colors, etc. I feel that the artists are present in the algorithm because all of his work is displayed with a certain art style that is very contemporary, none of it seems to stray too far from that path. I like the way he specifies spontaneity as a part of his process.
