GENERATING CHAOS, 11min., USA
Directed by Carlos Felipe Garcia
Generative art explores the relationship between order and chaos, as well as the concept of infinite variations within constraints. By embracing the inherent unpredictability of computational processes, generative art pushes the boundaries of traditional art forms and challenges the traditional notion of the artist as the sole creator of a work of art. Two established pioneers of the NFT and digital art space, along with two rising artists, guide us on a journey through the origins of the movement and their passion for generative art.
