Sifting through the reference projects on the assignment sheet, I was very intrigued by the work of Leander Herzog. The projects from Herzog that really stood out to me were Very Large Array and Gerhard. Although Herzog has programmed an algorithm for the pieces and has a vague idea of what the piece will look like, there is an infinite number of possibilities as to what can be produced because the user is the one generating the art. I really enjoyed how involved I felt contributing to the art work. Both pieces had a similar effect where the art work generated based on how you click on the screen; however, the addition of sound in Very Large Array was fascinating as the sounds looked like they were creating the art with me. From what I understand so far, I believe the program has to be using lots of randomization, but this randomization is constricted by a series of rules and code that Herzog has layed out.
