I was inspired by Christiane Baumgartner[0] at my printmaking class - her method isn’t (I suspect?) strictly generative - she takes film stills and then carves them as woodcuts.
So I started doing some prints where I’d use code to create generative art, then use this as the inspiration for my own lino and screen prints.
I really like the idea of code making a thing that is then put through a “human filter” to give different interpretations of the starting point - sometimes rougher and less refined than what I was generating. I think the idea of only having control over parts of the process also appeals to me.
