"generative"?
- beaconstudios 5y agoI think generative art could be emergent in future, but as far as I'm aware it isn't currently. The best examples of designed emergence we have right now are cellular automata, like Conway's Game of Life, or Primordial particle systems (https://youtu.be/makaJpLvbow https://youtu.be/makaJpLvbow).
- asplake 5y agoYes, though word is much broader in application than that. See for example generative design [1]. Pattern languages also, and the deliberate juxtaposition of things as a creative catalyst. Sort of in line with the article I have two metaphors for that idea in the knowledge creation arena: “Throwing things into the Great Model Collider” and “One model to the tune of another”.
