A Box of Chaos - The Generative Artist's Toolkit

Explore the toolkit of a generative artist in this 40-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Dive into the algorithms, color techniques, and methods used to create code-generated artwork that appears natural. Learn about simple techniques that can be combined to produce interesting art pieces, including linear algebra, line segments, paths, shapes, and randomness. Discover the importance of pseudorandom numbers, simplex noise, and algorithms like quadrilaterals. Examine color theory, including HSV, saturation, and value, as well as texture and emergence. Gain insights into specific concepts such as the Chikan Curve and Poisson Distribution. Perfect for those interested in the intersection of art and technology, this talk provides a comprehensive overview of the tools and techniques used in generative art.
