#2Apparently, he published all of his code (I didn't see any mention of where). Regarding the color -- he mentions being careful with the palette, but I wonder how he gets it to turn out correctly (assuming it's RNG). It seems like you would have to keep generating new instances until you find one that looks pleasing.
One algorithm that comes to mind:
1. Choose a color palette and initial resolution.
2. Implement generative features at current resolution.
3. Generate the output and until it "looks right".
4. Increase feature resolution.
5. Go to step 2.
This will be the second time I drop this on HN this week, but check out Primitive Pictures[0] if you are interested in this kind of stuff. Also, I highly recommend Schiffman's YouTube channel[1] which goes into depth on how to get started with processing (and p5.js, the browser/canvas version). Note that the artist in the article learned how to do this by reading Schiffman's book, which is covered in a series of tutorials in the linked YouTube channel.

#4Interesting stuff. All works of art tend to build on what came before, this does so in a much more direct way. At what point is something a derivative work rather than original?

#5I know art is whatever people describe as art but I can't really get behind this specific kind of creation. To me this creates as much emotion as a gravatar and reminds me of my dabbling in fractal art. Just hit random until something nice comes out.

Irritating and parochial post.
It doesn't look random at all. There is thought behind it. Hence the code.

Actually if you check out more of his work it looks quite different from what was chosen for this article. I think the article wants to portray a logical progression from modern art to generative art, or just to show that an algorithm is capable of generating images that are similar to those of highly creative human artists.

He also is a young guy with plenty of time ahead to develop his own style. As someone who also experiments with generative art and music I am absolutely impressed by what he's done so far.

> Just hit random until something nice comes out.
well, congrats, you're an artist ?

It's cheating because it was done on a computer!
It's a fairly common attitude that creating with a computer is somehow inferior, from Tron missing out on a special effects Oscar because computer graphics was 'cheating', to pretty much every designer being told at some point 'it can't be that hard, it's all done on a computer right?'
Expected better from HN though.
