Homework day 5 – Syrus Hou

Code:

size(400, 400);
stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255));
strokeWeight(10);
fill(random(255), random(255), random(255));
rect(5, 5, 190, 200);
stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255));
strokeWeight(10);
fill(random(255), random(255), random(255));
rect(5, 200, 190, 200);
stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255));
strokeWeight(10);
fill(random(255), random(255), random(255));
rect(205, 200, 190, 200);
stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255));
strokeWeight(10);
fill(random(255), random(255), random(255));
rect(205, 0, 190, 200);

(sorry didn’t use loop)

Anyway, the picture is inspired by the artist Sol Lewitt, who have created a lot of ‘geometric arts’. So I made this picture with processing which I would call ‘windows’. It’s basically made of random colors and rectangles.

Quiz 1: I think there exists value for recreating images with computers. One of the reasons is that computers are able to create a lot of ‘impossible’ images which cannot be draw by humans. Thus computers can make a kind of special, and beautiful art.

Quiz 2: I don’t think hand and computational drawings cause the same feelings in the viewer, because hand drawings are actually made with artists, they spend tons of time and efforts in them. So hand drawings will usually cause the audience more feelings. However, computational arts might not need too much time to create.

Quiz 3: I don’t think computers will replace humans at future. However, computers can replace the job of artist. The way that computers draw is convenient for sure, but if Artificial Intelligent get involves in computational drawings, it has great possibility to replace painters and artists.
