Artificial Still Life

This work tries to explore and critique what "generative" art reallly means.

Is it generative to use existing manual art as a collage?
Is it generative art to take an existing picture and make the code paint every pixel manually?


This piece attempts go show that one can generate stylistic realist art using extremely simple code if the math is used effectively - showcasing my opinionated purist definition on the term "generative"


The four kinds of fruits, the bottle, the wood texture are all generated purely from minimal algorithmic code - totalling less than 200 lines for the core drawing code.
