The work of Katharina Brunner most inspires me. She is an artist and data scientist from Germany that often uses randomness in her artwork. She also is involved in the fields of technical writing and research. Recently, she created a software package in R called generative art. She publicly posted this package on GitHub so that people can access and experiment with randomly generated art. According to her website, she says that her package allows for the creation of images based on thousands of points. Additionally, the position of every single point in the picture is calculated by a formula that takes in random parameters. Thus, every image looks different due to the built-in randomness. Her work stands out to me because she is creating her own artwork while simultaneously working to inspire others by giving them the initial tools to learn about the field of generative art. Check out her work below!
