Generative Art atelier

" Coding is Poetry, since it can define new meanings for old things". We believe in the power of code, we believe we are coming in the age of the Spiritual Machines.

 

Ever since computers came into common use, many steps have been made to develop perfect programs dedicated to images, music and video production. As  the  computer graphics era arose, we foresaw a new generation of artist that would not use any tool but programming itself, allowing imagination to create forms through instructions coded in the same language of the machines.

 

Fifty years have passed from those early days of computers when we imagined art forms free from physical intermediation. Today, in the midst of the ‘internet revolution’,  We all share our expression in a immersive media environment, sustained by interdependent systems of computers fed by huge data flows, Creativity has evolved in a hybrid natural//synthetic process:  software culture spreads across all media forms.
