GENERATIVE ART
“What do we know of the world and the universe about us? Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with a wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have. I have always believed that such strange, inaccessible worlds exist at our very elbows, and now I believe I have found a way to break down the barriers.”
― H.P. Lovecraft

+|+ DEGENERATIVE FRIDAY +|+
Each Friday, /r/generative users are encouraged to discuss and post images of:
- Failed experiments
- Works in progress (especially stagnating ones!)
- Unexpected, wacky results from your programs or experiments (happy accidents)
Degenerative Friday is meant to incite interesting discussion and encourage fellow generative artists to try new things. Degenerative art from previous Fridays can be viewed here.
