Algorithms that produce new outputs, such as images, sound or text, each time they run, usually shaped by rules and randomness. They are the engine of generative art.
Yes, it's quite interesting, because in the early '90s we made these works that are very specifically dealing with generative algorithms and artificial life and evolution.

In the beginning, I was many, many years, and I remember vivid discussions among colleagues. What is generative art? What makes a generative kernel? What are generative algorithms? Is there a definition and so on.
