Abstract

Algorithmic art, otherwise known as generative art, is gaining popularity as a new medium for aesthetic creation using computer-generated automation. It is also seen as a potentially powerful platform toward enhancing the understanding of AI. Algorithmic art can be interpreted in a straightforward manner, translations of naturalistic elements within our society through algorithms is something that speaks truths to us and makes ask question things. Not only is generative art reflecting specific naturistic elements of society and our environment, but it also is a method of understanding how AI units function, how they process visual perceptions of our world. In this paper, I have shown that algorithmic art has existed for much longer than most people know. Algorithmic art has proven that the process of creating art and perceiving reality with machines is extraordinarily parallel to the creation of particular and historical forms of contemporary art and the perception of humans.
