About "Generative Art" Generative art means art created partly by an algorithm in automatic calculations, adding some source of randomness. While following some kind of pattern, there is always an element of surprise. Normally this element of surprise is derived from sources of randomness in a program, but in the "Gen" game the game play itself is used as a source of surprise.
