Reading What is Generative Art by Philip Galanter

Paper download here: http://philipgalanter.com/downloads/ga2003_paper.pdf

" Generative art may or may not be “high tech”. Third, a system that moves an art practice into the realm of generative art must be well defined and self-contained enough to operate autonomously" (p.4)

"Complex systems often include chaotic behavior, which is to say that the dynamics of these systems are nonlinear and difficult to predict over time, even while the systems themselves are deterministic machines following a strict sequence of cause and effect." (p.6) In generative art, it is not random.

"nonsense sentence sent through the channel"- from information theory.
