It’s digital art. It’s computer-based art.

Generative art is art made using a predetermined system that usually includes an element of chance.

It’s an art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system. It’s a software-created art.

An autonomous system is one that is non-human and can determine features of artwork…

Algorithmic art is also known as computer-generated art. It’s a subset of generative art, generated by an autonomous system.

Fractal art is an example of algorithmic art.

The artist creator may say that the generative system represents their own artistic idea.

And in others cases, the software takes on the role of the creator.

Generative art is a technique where the artist creates art images by using computer algorithms.

Generative art

art piece = programming + computer graphics + artist expression.
