Technically it's not new, but practically speaking it's had 2 posts ever, with the last being 8 months ago.

You may also know it as "creative coding" or the like, but it's not limited to coding.

If you're ok with visiting reddit you can check out r/generative, or you can subscribe here to see what people (hopefully beyond just me) produce

It seems mostly digital/programming/random based stuff from the examples - though by the description above (and wikipaedia's definition) it sounds like you'd also take more traditional algorithmically generated geometric abstract paintings? i.e. a painting produced following a very strict algorithm/sequence/permutation?

Yeah programming is the most common method, but humans can follow algorithms too

Awesome. That's definitely my kind of thing, and I maybe I can nudge a few folks to post some stuff :)
