I am looking at LIA’s artwork Nine Suns. This generative artwork is a video exclusively made with shades of red. Translucent arcs and lines of red overlap each other and create interesting images for the duration of the video. I admire how complex the video is even though it uses very basic shapes and 1 color. The algorithm used for the work is certainly complex, since it needs to generate shapes and move them around for 5 minutes. LIA has many other works with a similar style to this one. It is interesting that even though they are generating the art, their own unique style can still come through. When I first heard about generative artwork, I was skeptical of how a computer could generate anything interesting. LIA’s art has proven to me that this media can be used to create beautiful pieces.
