After years of working through this morass, he’s got thoughts enough to fill a talk & therapy session on the physical potentials of generative art. Let’s discuss!</p> <p>Generative Things: What happens when algorithms get physical?</p> <p>So you have a generative art project and you’ve chosen a single generated image for an art print. Now where is the essence of your project? What is the relationship of that print to your algorithm? Artists that work with generative processes have a problematic relationship with traditional means of production and distribution of art products. What solutions do we have, apart from bolting an iPad to the wall?</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>Community Presentations</b></p> <p>As always, we're looking to you, the community and members of the group, to present a project or give a short talk.

You could present:</p> <p>• a short case study for a finished product</p> <p>• an interactive work you've been jamming on </p> <p>• a work in progress that you are excited about and want to get feedback on</p> <p>• lessons learned from a past project </p> <p>• anything you want! This is your group! </p> <p>New to public speaking or nervous about giving a talk? We're here to help.
