Algorithmic drawings / “machine imaginaire” practice

Algorithmic drawings / “machine imaginaire” practice

Vera Molnár

Historical context & research account

From a manually conceived machine imaginaire to actual computer programs, Molnár uses rules, permutations and small random deviations in painting and drawing. Her practice demonstrates that generative art was not suddenly invented by deep learning: artists had long treated procedures, constraints and variation as mechanisms through which works take form.
