As the daughter of a generative art pioneer, I'm sharing the treasure of images and ideas "Chuck" left behind for the generations to understand the formation of this digital art movement.

is a simple yet elegant idea that Vera Molnar used in her pieces. I was inspired by her untitled piece that is just a grid of stacked squares, but with some randomly omitted. I first recreated the original in P5JS (first image):
I then took a few exploratory liberties of my own by adding random chances for things such as circles instead of squares, inverted colors, rotation, and line density. You can get some interesting results (imo) from just a few simple primitives applied randomly.
As an exercise to myself and to explore this work more, I implemented 8-corner in p5js. I would encourage others to try to code it since it is a simple and fun exercise, but my naive implementation is here if anyone wants to play with it: editor.p5js.org/0xJosh/sketcβ¦
It is a great exercise for people learning creative coding since it introduces a basic generative principle, how to split a canvas and draw within a grid, and demonstrates how simple rules can produce cool results. Shown below within the grid and the eight points visualised.

I have begun putting together a list of people who tweet about generative art in various fashions. Will continue adding to this over time, suggestions welcome.
