LO: Generative Art

aDiatomea is a complex artificial life system produced by Markos R. Kay, a multidisciplinary artist focused on exploring biology and conducting a-life research through screen-based media & generative art. Fully generated with a mathematical equation capable of reproducing organic lifeforms, Kay’s microscopic organisms – also known as Diatoms – are injected with granular sound to act as their external force of life as they interact with the environment as well as one another. At its very core, aDiatomea is an evolutionary algorithm made up of particles placed randomly within 3 dimensions, each with a confining parameter that limits how far they can spread from their initial number. Driven by sound and randomness, the diatoms grow, evolve, and interact with the conditions of the environment, enabling the process that we know as artificial life.

Aside from being an (r)evolutionary artist, Markos Kay is a digital scientist and “genetic engineer.” His works are often beyond even the scope of both modern art and science. As a digital artist mesmerized by the integration of generative visual media with other fields of research, I am beyond envious of both Kay’s abilities as a programmer as well as his imagination as an artist.

LO: My Inspiration

Title: Threads
Author: Bill Ralph
Link: https://billralph.com/threads/

Bill Ralph is a mathematician, artist and professor at Brock University in Canada. He is interested in the intersection of math and art, as his pieces are made entirely from mathematical scripts and formulas transformed into computer code. He creates his artworks using a loop and randomizing system, which can continuously auto generate variations of his pieces within minutes. He is greatly influenced and inspired by the works of Leonardo da Vinci, such as Vitruvian Man, Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. They both share the belief that there is no art without mathematical logic. I believe his work and approach have a lot of future potential in terms of AI generated art. If any imagery can be translated into a mathematical algorithm and be manipulatable by simply changing parameters, an unlimited amount of artwork and its variations can be generated within seconds. I am a huge fan of his pieces because at first they look creative, abstract and random without any logic at all. I could not tell that there is an entire mathematical system behind each piece. The viewer would assume that he is a typical abstract artist and will draw in an uncontrolled, fluid motion. However it is actually quite the opposite, he strategically knows exactly what shapes he’ll create and the exact position of them.

LO: Dark Souls

I find the video games in the Dark Souls franchise to be artistically inspiring. I particularly admire the third installment of the franchise, Dark Souls III. This role playing game creates a dark, foreboding atmosphere with inspiration from classical art. The architecture is based on medieval European designs and the characters are inspired from classic sci-fi literature such as H.P. Lovecraft and Braum Stoker. The world design is immersive with a non-linear progression path. In this way, each person creates their own unique experience.

The game was developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Inc. and FromSoftware, Inc. under the direction of Hidetaka Miyazaki, Isamu Okanu, and Yui Tanimura. Based on the release date of Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III took about two years to develop. FromSoftware has its own proprietary game engine, known to the gaming community by the unofficial name Dantelion. This engine is written in C++ and is likely an extension of the game engines developed for Dark Souls I and II. The game engine is reusable and extendable and is likely the backbone for the developer’s most recent release, Elden Ring.

The Official Launch Trailer for the game can be viewed at https://youtu.be/igzqz0d4VFE.
