Generative Art - Harnessing the Power of Technology to Enhance Art

Philips Research has been examining how to support artists in producing new expressions of art that combine traditional techniques with advanced technologies, to create something very different: Generative Art. Generative Art is a series of images that never stop evolving within the framework defined by the artist, yet never repeats.

Two artists that Philips works with, Italian artists Federico Bonelli and Maurizio Martinucci, set out to create a type of multimedia art that was more permanent - yet at the same time transient, than that which is developed for special occasions such as shows or exhibitions. Their unique form of Generative Art is known as Protoquadro.  Photoquadro art can be commissioned.

Exquisitely Creative Digital Artwork

Today's feature: Fantastic Digital Artwork by Stan Bowman

Stan Bowman has been an artist for nearly 50 years and has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally, as a photographer, painter and digital artist. His artwork is in such collections as the San Francisco Museum of Art, Bibilotech National in Paris, German Photographic Society and many other locations.

Since the mid 1980's he has been involved with digital imaging, not only with still images, but also with digital video, 3D animation and digital music.

His recent work is about finding new ways of seeing digital still images, sometimes working at the pixel level. What excites him is discovering new ways of restructuring imagery using current digital technology.

Stan Bowman's digital art is absolutely gorgeous! I love it and I believe you all will, too!
