Using names to generate beautiful abstract visuals.
Our names are a very integral part of our lives, yet we don’t get to choose them. They are influenced by various factors such as race, religion and socio-economic status, infact it is this same influence that makes them so important. Our names control our lives in ways we can’t fathom.
In this project I have coded a system that when given a name, generates a unique visual identity.
This would classify under Generative Art, an autonomous system which is generally one that is non-human and can independently determine features of an artwork that would otherwise require decisions made directly by the artist. In a professional environment these generated visual could perhaps be used as an identity card.
