I'm glad that you're bringing this up, because it's an interesting (almost philosophical question) around what art is. In my mind, the interesting part in this installation is not necessarily the generated artworks, but rather the fact that they are one push of a button away from being deleted forever. It adds a consumable aspect to the installation, which I think is interesting. Can that evoke emotions and be art in itself? But that being said, I don't look at myself as an artist. I'm a simple Data Scientist enjoying building projects at the intersection of technology, woodwork and art (whatever that is).

>but rather the fact that they are one push of a button away from being deleted forever but how is that expressed or communicated through the installation? Why should anyone value random patterns generated by a machine that had no intention? I find andy goldsworthy's art incredible, and he bases his work almost entirely on this idea of impermanent art (although his is usually found materials). I'm not sure its communicated by what you've presented. I think the impermanence of random patterns that don't communicate anything is something you can find interesting rather than something thats communicated by the video screen, or the intention of the installation. It's a cool project, but ya, still not sold on this being art per se.
