What is generative art? by Margaret and Ernest

to be read- http://research.it.uts.edu.au/creative/eae/intart/pdfs/generative-art.pdf

more from a science perspective - 

- some history indicates where the term come from (since 1965)
- p.5: "rule-driven systems appear to have a greater degree of autonomy, relative to the conscious decisions of the human artist."
- in relation to sol LeWitt, p.11: " the conceptual artist Sol LeWitt was also recommending G-art when he said that art should be designed by some formulaic rule. The crucial idea, he said, "becomes a machine that makes the art."where "all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair"(1967:824) " > but the issue of Sol LeWitt tends to treat as a completed object, where I am focused on a continuous process.
