| "Produced in collaboration with Alec Finlay of Morning Star/Pocketbooks publications, Chicago was a project created specifically for the SPACEX touring exhibition of generative art called Generator. According to the curators,“generative art is a term given to work usually (although not exclusively) automated by the use of a machine or computer, or by using mathematic or pragmatic instructions to define the rules by which the artwork is executed. After the initial parameters have been set by an artist / programmer the process of production is unsupervised, and, as such, ‘self-organizing’ and ‘time-based’.”
If not the first then certainly the best known ancestor of this generation of generative artists, Sol LeWitt makes a contemporary contribution to this exhibition. In his book, Chicago, he applies his systematic treatment of visual elements to a series of nine postcards of Chicago. Overlaid on top of each other according to a pattern written out on the first page, the resulting jumbled cityscapes are surprisingly, though perhaps characteristically, serene." from https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/15641/ |
