Generative and liveness

I am interested in the dynamics of network and what I call 'network happening. Again, to me liveness exist through the entanglement of data, software and network.

The reason why I dig into the notion of generative aesthetics is because I have some assumptions.

1/ The idea of generative art (system base) comes from rules that are defined through algorithms
2/ The rules can be something simple like turn 80 degree when you meet x, or upon certain requirement meets, polling or getting data from somewhere, here the network.
3/ By entering the data relation, the complexity of generativity increased because there are additional agents, here the network and humans.
5/ The notion of generative aesthetics include two parts: traditional idea of generative aesthetics + user generated content, the action of content generation through data flow i.e entering into the database and retrieving from there through different interfaces. Here i am not interested in the "content", that is the meaning of the data from a linguistic perspective
6/ The complexity is unpredictable and is partially subject to network happening. There is no end result.
