The article discusses the evolution of generative design in computational art, highlighting its beginnings in the 1960s when artists experimented with computers to create new forms of artistic expression. Initially met with resistance due to its mechanical and mathematical nature, generative design has increasingly transformed the creative landscape, raising questions about authorship and ownership. It emphasizes the ongoing inquiries surrounding procedure, chance, and the collaboration between human creativity and machine capabilities in producing art, challenging traditional views of what constitutes an artist's role.
In computational art and design, many responses to the questions of what and why continue historic lines of creative inquiry centered on procedure, connection, abstraction, authorship, the nature of time, and the role of chance.
The introduction of computers to the creative community faced resistance, especially because of their mechanical, mathematical, and multidisciplinary nature.
Creating artifacts alongside computational systems involved ceding a part of the creative process - which before belonged entirely to humans- to the machine.
This shift challenged the conventional conception of ownership and raised intuitive questions about authorship in artistic creation.
