The Generative
Artworks
Eight unique generative artworks were created as part of this research, each developed using different methods categorized into Node Implementations, Network Implementations, and Code Implementations.
These systems were analyzed based on visual quality and setup difficulty, showcasing Houdini’s versatility in facilitating generative art through procedural techniques.
The Exhibition Space
The room the digital exhibition was curated offers clean lines and cold concrete walls. It’s purpouse is to showcase the different digital artworks in a way artworks are presented in real life.
