Generative Art

Video description:

A prototype of the project of virtual breeding of digital plants by crossing. Each plant has a genome, which is an array of numbers. By crossing plants (mixing their genome), we get a new kind of plant. In this way, you can get very interesting and unusual results.

Summary generated by claude.ai from the video transcript:

A generative art project to create abstract images of imaginary plants. The creator starts with a genome represented as a sequence of numbers that gets fed into an algorithm to generate plant images. By evolving the genomes through processes like mutation and crossover, new plant images emerge. The creator discusses the challenges of defining an objective fitness function, since beauty is subjective. Without a fitness function for natural selection, the creator resorts to artificial selection by manually choosing genomes to crossover. The resulting plants have unique, imaginary qualities that can't be precisely predicted in advance. The creator notes some possible rules to make the plants more unique, like limiting how similar parent genomes can be. Overall, the project aims to explore an abstract generative space of imaginary plants through evolutionary techniques.

"Pixel Paradigm" is a generative art project that merges the distinctive 4-bit aesthetics of the late '70s to early '80s video games with modern algorithms. It breathes life into simplistic, pixelated elements, transforming them into complex, ever-evolving patterns that pay homage to the vintage arcade era while exploring the limitless potential of generative art.

"Orthographic Quilts" explores the use of extreme camera perspective foreshortening to camouflage the geometry seen by the viewer and continuously shift their perception.

Based on art originally developed for "Quantum Quilt" book by QubaXR, the resulting imagery is both solid and fluid as it morphs to obfuscate its true nature.

This exploration is a part of a larger effort to create imagery and environments that exist in a state of flux - always evolving and never collapsing to a finite state.
