This week we were tasked to respond to the thinking of George Nees, a mathematician who became a pioneer in computer arts. He started making drawings with the use of a plotter, employing it as a drawing machine and utilising…

Georg Nees was interested in using stochastic functions to disrupt formal structures. His work is characterized by a visible transformation from order to chaos. This is well demonstrated by Schotter (1968), in which a rotation and transformation disorder a grid….

When examining Georg Nees’s work, I became perplexed with his ability to seamlessly alter his structures using ‘randomization.’ I love the thought of messing with set, orderly structures, however, I am usually a bit afraid to randomize aspects of my…

For my responses to Georg Nees, I took the ideas behind his work “Gravel” and incorporated them in my responses. The idea behind “Gravel” are the disruption of a formal pattern. Nees also enjoyed the idea of variation within a…

Georg Nees, credited as a pioneer of computer-generated artwork, is renowned for his generative, stochastic style of using computers to create works of art. Through his method, Nees would first create a formal structure that was very concrete. By gradually…

For my response to Georg Nees I did three separate instances of a pattern showing random progression. By doing this I was able to experiment with three different formal patterns but lost some experience by not sticking with one pattern…

In this series, I have produced three coherent works that utilize a stochastic element disrupting structure as a response to Georg Nees. The result established itself in three separate works that resemble vortexes. Taylor writes, “The computer works by Nake,…

Generative art refers to art that has, in some way, has been created with the use of an autonomous system, or in the computer art lens, an increment or property of randomness. This was catalyzed by Max Bense in his…

  I started creating this series of works by observing Nees’s works. Nees’s works showed us that he tried to explore the creative potentials of randomness, especially algorithmic randomness. He finally presented the way that randomness could against a formal…

As Taylor writes, “the use of a randomizer in art was not new,” specifically exemplified in the work of Dadaists through chance happenings — yet Taylor goes on to clarify that such mechanisms are different from mechanical chance. The computer…
