Using ChatGPT to implement Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawings
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
Sol LeWitt was an artist who worked across many mediums but is probably most famous for his Wall Drawings series. These artworks aren’t actually drawings at all but, rather, instructions for drawings.
The instructions have been implemented in many ways, by many different people, revealing how they are at once prescriptive and ambiguous. Control over a final output lies somewhere between the instruction giver and the instruction follower. The idea popped into my head to put these instructions into ChatGPT, and ask for p5js sketches.
...Distributing Randomness
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
A good pseudorandom number generator gives an even distribution of results from 0 to 1 but sometimes in generative art we might want something different. It’s possible to skew or weight the distribution of results, so that certain outcomes are more or less likely. This is useful to manage rarities in a collection, or to control positions, dimensions and other choices within each piece.
This article is a guide on how I manage randomness in my projects. There are two main methods I use:
Skewing randomness across a continuous range with mathematical equations.
Defining discrete options and...
Playing dice: Randomness, determinism and the quantum world
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
As generative artists we use “randomness” all the time but what does that actually mean? What’s the difference between unexpected, random and chaotic? Does the universe contain any truly random events, or is it operating like clockwork, ticking from one event to the next?
I got thinking about determinism while discussing randomness in my article ‘What is Generative Art’. After a bit of research, I realised that I needed to know more about quantum physics to be able to investigate determinism in the way I wanted to. I did a 12-week introductory course about the quantum world and,...
