To reserve tickets, please email: design_event@imperial.ac.uk For directions to the Tanaka building, please click HERE >> This exhibition will feature work from six artists who use computers in diverse ways to generate their artworks. Their techniques include the following: Generative art The modelling of evolutionary processes generates complex, organic and beautiful shapes and images. Computers as an artistic medium Computational techniques open up exciting new opportunities for multi-media art generation, and the combination of computer generated art with traditional mediums. Simulation of the artistic process Simulating artistic and creative processes enables computers to generate human-like artworks. This event is one of three being organised by Imperial on the topic of Computational Creativity. For details of the other events, please click here >> for more details.
