Algorithm |
|
An algorithm is a systematic, finite set of steps,
processes or operations that produce some result, such as the answer to
a question or the solution of an equation.
Procedural models such as fractals allow the artist to create a high degree of complexity with relatively simple input information. Algorithms and computer programs are invariably procedural constructs. It is true that a drawing program does not simply make art, but artists do not simply make art either, they follow a method. What is often called talent or intuition is a complex form of reasoning, so complex, in fact, that we do not know how to describe it in words. The final composition is the product of the artist’s experience and
level of comfort with the medium, and is inspired by a history of sketching
in computation and other media.
