Generative art is defined as being an artwork that has been created with the use of an autonomous system , like an algorithm, computer code, or a custom piece of hardware. The artwork itself is as much the final result as the program used to create it.
There are many different forms of generative art, though one of the most popular is called ‘pen plotter’ art. Plotter artwork is generally very geometric, making heavy use of shapes, patterns and lines. Popular pen plotters include the Axidraw or the Line-Us and can print on paper or other surfaces.
