The history of generative art began long ago. Over time, it has come to encompass a great variety of techniques and products. Despite this diversity, today generative art is strongly associated with a very restricted category of works, mainly abstract images produced using computer software and evolutionary algorithms. On the one hand, application of generative art to computer graphics, the movie and gaming industries, electronic music and architecture has helped to develop the form both conceptually and commercially; on the other hand, within the world of contemporary art – and, more specifically, new media art – generative art seems to be largely ignored or misunderstood as an artistic production. Its specificity, as demonstrated through its recent evolution, is partly to blame for its exclusion from important venues on the contemporary art circuit, such as the numerous biennale and other exhibitions in major museums. Moreover, some art historians have pointed out that generative art is largely “retinal” or even conventional from an aesthetic point of view, and thus lacking in narrative and ideas. Because of its nature, generative art appears unable to address relevant societal issues, which may be why it has failed to seduce art critics and historians, not to mention the broader public.
