"The idea becomes a machine that makes the art" Sol Lewitt, Paragraphs on conceptual art, 1967Â

[artists inform] themselves by inventing tools or techniques or processes that allow them to see into a material manifestation in the way that you would not if you dealt with standardized or academic ways of thinking. Richard Serra

Richard Serra - machine for making revolving sculptures

Jackson Pollock at work

"The code designs machines that grow the architecture" paraphrasing Sol LewittÂ

- I designed a machine that can draw - Can it draw as I draw? - Yes, if you can tell me how you draw,I believe it can

craft

craft accumulazione di conoscenza che si sublima in sensibilitĂ

computazione come medium progettuale . programmare comportamenti (relazioni) . costruire macchine . progetto e costruzione come crescita

programmare comportamenti (che producono complessi di materia attorno ad un vuoto)

An algorithm must be seen to be believed Donald Knuth

It is hard to believe that something as mindless and mechanical as an algorithm could produce such wonderful things. No matter how impressive the products of an algorithm, the underlying process always consists of

nothing but a set of individually mindless steps succeeding each other without the help of intelligent supervision: they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;automaticâ&#x20AC;? by deďŹ nition: the workings of an automaton Daniel Dennett

Cellular Formations - Andy Lomas

Process 6: Position three large circles on a rectangular surface.  Set the center of each circle as the origin for a large group of Element 1. When each Element moves beyond the edge of the circle, move its position back to the origin. Draw a line from the centers of Elements which are touching. Set the value of the shortest possible line to white and the longest to black, with varying grays between. Element 1: Form 1 + Behavior 1 + Behavior 2 + Behavior 3 Form 1: Circle  Behavior 1: Constant linear motion  Behavior 2: Constrain to surface Behavior 3: When touching another, change direction
