Ikeda Map with Associated Voronoi Diagram

...and a lot of colours!

As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with the Patron Saint of Industrial Chemicals from the cybersaints series:

NOT asking this as a gotcha, I'm 100% sincere, can you point to pieces of AI art that you feel are interesting uses of the medium? Because I'm not philosophically opposed to it, but at the same time I've never seen anything that wasn't naked bandwagon shilling by the same people who pushed NFTs

sure! i think a classic of the medium is secret horses

(i sadly don't know who made it, but i've seen it around and fallen in love). this is everything AI art should be, imo, taking advantage of the liminal dreamlike quality of the medium and using titling and framing to say something about the piece that wouldn't exist if it was presented on its own. secret horses...

my favourite band, everything everything, released an album last year that made use of AI generation, both for the album's art and for small portions of the lyrics (interestingly, they've refused to say which lyrics are AI written and which are human written, which adds another layer of intrigue to me -- the only lyric that they've confirmed is AI generated is the title of 'software greatman', which forms the haunting, powerful chorus of the song that gets deconstructed into electronic incoherence. other highlights include the album art, part burning skyscape, part incomprehensible machine. what is the machine? is it a camera? a monitor? a train? does it matter?

and finally from this album cycle i adore the hallucinogenic exuberance of their video for i want a love like this:

in terms of dedicated artists working primarily within the AI medium, i'm a huge fan of @reachartwork, a really innovative artist who keeps blowing me away with evocative and interesting pieces and pioneer in ethical and cooperative AI art techniques. i'm an especially big fan of their grotesque and uncomfortable 'tooth machine' series:

as well as their desolate, bleak, alien landscapes:

(hole in the sky / river lethe )

and their project, the @infiniteartmachine, a model that produces art based upon algorithmically generated prompots -- effectively a long-term art piece.

finally, i'm a very very big fan of @roborosewater-masters, a bot that makes AI-created magic the gathering cards. this might not parse as 'art' to some people, or be interesting to analyze as such, but to me, someone obsessed with games and game studies, i think that the mix of synctactically correct magic the gathering rules text and abrupt non sequitur makes for really striking and funny pieces that prompt me to think about what the limits of games and gaming are

these are just the artists and pieces i can name off the top of my head, but i hope that they're representative of what generative art has to offer when it's not being done by grifters chasing the lowest common denominator.

Art by @generate.collective The weekly newsletter has been released! This week we are covering some different programming languages to generate art, surprise and generative art and then a number of different inspirational pieces that I hope will give you much pleasure and enjoyment!

Stills from a Sum of Neighbours cellular automaton on a grid of triangles. Animation only available at Patron.

Sprott's "Case F" strange attractor, demonstrating chaotic motion by following the trajectory of 100 Rainbow Dots. Here's the citation, on the off chance anybody wishes to look up the details: Sprott, J. C.: Some Simple Chaotic Flows. Phys. Rev. E, vol. 50, nr. 2, pp. R647-R650, 1994

This is the first 125 iterations of a "neighbour counting" cellular automaton. Each cell can be in one of two states, "on" or "off." The behaviour of each cell at iteration N+1 is defined by the number of neighbours in the 'on' state it has and whether the cell in question is on or off. An "on" cell with three or more "on" neighbours goes to "off", otherwise it stays "on." If a cell is "off" and has 1 or 2 neighbours switched "on", it swtiches "on." If it has three or more "on" neighbours, it stays "off." If it has zero neighbours "on", it remains "off."

100,000 colourful dots - but are they spiralling inward or outward?

Ikeda maps.

The Ikeda map is a 2-D iterative map with adjustable parameters and chaotic solutions for some parameter combinations. Here, 210 maps are plotted, each with an equal increase in a single parameter (usually called, "u"). As u is increased the colour plotted goes from deep red to white, via red and yellow shades.

"Wallpaper" fractal images.

Stills from an animation of the growth of an obscure type of iterative map fractal called "Wallpaper." Each frame of the animation adds 100 points to the fractal. Points are colour-coded dynamically so that, for each frame, the oldest points are deep red, rising through red, orange and yellow to most recent points being white.

Arriving on the Sprott N strange attractor. Say "Hi" and tell me where you came from, if you like the video.

Pile of Rocks III A modification of the Sandpile cellular automaton such that unstable cells avalanche to all neighbouring cells (not just edge-neighbours). I decided, in the absence of knowledge of a better or accepted term, to call this automaton "Rockpiles."

Simulation of the Sprott "Case F" chaotic system. Each coloured line shows the trajectory of the equivalently coloured dot. Each dot had a different set of initial conditions. The dots have not completed one orbit of the attractor, yet. See the animation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BMBnUu-Diw

Straight Yellow Fence Constructed from 250 sine curves of equal amplitude but various colours, lengths, frequencies, starting positions and ending positions and following a simple deterministic set of rules, this might be a unique way to paint a fence.
