Synopsis
In this talk Simon will describe the current state, and thinking behind, an emergent software system that he has developed to help generate a series of artworks. Simon will also show and discuss several artworks with particular focus on the technique’s application to generating landscape imagery. By way of this, he will also offer some of his own opinions on generative art.
