Interactive Generative Art • Hacker News Board

This has been going to years. By chance I found an old link to it recently and was amazed it was still going. At least Bit Rot doesn't get everywhere (yet)

This is cool. I once made an app in the same vein [1]. I think that generative/immersive art software has a lot of potential. A large part of making art is enjoying the process, whereas most digital art software is about getting results efficiently.

It's a pretty digital brush but hardly generative. Calling the output generative art is like calling a melody played by a single preset synthesizer running through a delay unit generative music.

This is really cool. Well done.

There seems to be an interest in generative are on Hacker News lately. Another one I saw that didn't make it to the front page was No Paint: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23934292
