This document discusses generative art, which is defined as art created through systems or processes where the artist uses computer programs, algorithms, or other techniques to contribute to or create a completed work of art. Generative art aims to create organic works through mechanical means. Common techniques in generative art include using fractals generated through iterated function systems or L-systems. The document also lists several software programs and initiatives that allow for the creation of generative art, such as Processing, Fragmentarium, and DevArt.

Generative Art (a gentle introduction)

2. generative art
“any art practice where the artist uses a system,
such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program,
a machine, or other procedural invention,
which is set into motion with some degree of autonomy
contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art”
Philip Galanter, 2003
3. generative art
“Programming is an interface between man and machine;
it is a clean, logical discipline, with clearly defined aims.
Art is an emotional subject,
highly subjective & defying definition.
Generative Art is the meeting place between the two.”
Matt Pearson – http://abandonedart.org/?page_id=567
4. generative art
“…is about creating the organic using the mechanical.”
Matt Pearson

(generative) systems art
“using a pre-determined set of rules
that give rise to a range of
unpredictable results”
