Definition
Generative art is art produced by an autonomous system — usually code — that combines fixed rules with controlled randomness so every run yields a unique result. The artist does not draw the outcome; they design the system: parameters, constraints and sources of variation such as noise or seeded randomness. Its practical power is scaling uniqueness — thousands of variants that share one identity without repeating themselves — which is why it thrives in identity systems, textures and digital collectibles.
