I admire this because it feels like the art was in motion and the audience just happened to catch a snapshot of an ongoing thing. The placement of each of the red, blue and yellow lines are random but I like how the colors are kept within these three. The creator didn&rsquo;t use just any colors and I admire this artistic decision because it brings some overall cohesion to the project. The work uses &ldquo;pseudo-random compositions&rdquo; of branching out shapes that are distorted by a 3D surface to mimic a sense of movement while maintaining a central focal point. Watz uses software to produce a computational image and then places in aspects of randomness either through the colors or shapes. The creator connects generative art with &ldquo;dynamic processes,&rdquo; so in the final form of the work it gives the impression of never being static. The artist&rsquo;s logic borrows from biomimicry so his art form seems to be in the process of developing and being undone.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Title: Arcs04-01 Year of Creation: 2011 Artists: Marius Watz I admire the vibrant colors used in this project and how the shapes of the lines flow such that it looks like the 2D print just stopped the art midway through.
