LO6: Random Computational Art

the computational art using randomness that i’m interested in is Wired0513 by deskriptiv.
In this work, the artist uses random lines and curves to form unique patterns that look like weaving wires. Inside those random wires, we can recognize the “0513” texts formed by the wires.

This is very interesting because the artist uses randomness in exploring the uncertainty of how a line will go and where it’s going, but also controlling them by creating a text from it. I think the author first define the text that occupies a certain part of the space in the whole canvas, and then when the line goes by, it just goes around the text rather than across it. This is similar to some kind of ant marching movement, so I think part of the inspiration comes from the nature as well.

This artwork using randomness is also inspiring for architecture work. We usually deal with different landscapes, so this randomness can help us generate different complicated contours and lanscapes, so that we can find some parts where we can build houses.
