Looking Outwards 06: Randomness

I am inspired by the project, Gush by Adam Ferriss. This piece of digital, algorithmic art is created by the random noise function called Perlin noise. The noise is a pseudo-random function for generating values, which are deterministic sequences and reproducible. The function adds realistic randomness to the color and composition of the piece. Ferriss still has control over some parameters such as the speed of the color change, allowing him to generate images with gradual gradients and in turn, create crazy psychedelic transitions. What I admire about this project is that the piece is not entirely automated, while image-making itself is. Ferriss’s artistic sensibilities could be still manifested in the final piece as he adjusts the parameter’s values until he gets an aesthetically satisfying and completely new type of work.
