Algorithmic art

Algorithmic art or algorithm art is art, mostly visual art, in which the design is generated by an algorithm. Algorithmic artists are sometimes called algorists. Algorithmic art is created in the form of digital paintings and sculptures, interactive installations and music compositions. Algorithmic art is not a new concept. Islamic art is a good example of the tradition of following a set of rules to create patterns. The even older practice of weaving includes elements of algorithmic art. As computers developed so did the art created with them. Algorithmic art encourages experimentation allowing artists to push their creativity in the digital age. Algorithmic art allows creators to devise intricate patterns and designs that would be nearly impossible to achieve by hand. Creators have a say on what the input criteria are, but not on the outcome.
