Generative art is best appreciated through Simon Reilly’s Still Life, and the disturbingly beautiful Mind’s Eye videos. Played through between 6 to 10 minutes, these images are slowly replayed in compression modes or stretched to fill a certain space within one’s minds. Gordon’s work is not dissimilar, and decides to show a western played over a period of over 5 years, this can seen at the Telenor Centre, Oslo.

generative art

I have for some years been very interested to research how generative artists’ work will eventually have an influence on how architectural methodology can borrow from it, and be subsequently developed using this process. Action painting and drip painting of Pollock, how this has evolved to influence chance or generative art as in the work of Brian Eno, the transitional work using compression techniques of Douglas Gordon’s videos and Simon Reilly’s time warp installations are all clues to how architecture can be engaged in similar philosophical framework.
