lo: generative art

One computational art project I admire is actually from a previous design professor of mine, Kyuha (Q) Shim. Much of his work operates in the realm between art, design, and technology, but I am really drawn to his experiments with typographic algorithms. What I find admiring is how Q approaches iterations and experimentation. He says the benefit to using computational systems is the themes you can see across a series of iterations that would otherwise take a long time. The ability to find these motifs then allows designers to create more solutions and observe broader systems than we can without technology. I’m not sure of the specifics of how he generated these designs, but I would assume it incorporates some image recognition based on type and qr codes. These experiments reflect the practical nature of Q and have a lot of potential both in technology and artistic aspects.
