Generative Art
Art algorithmically created by combining a set of possible traits according to defined rules.
Generative art is created algorithmically, typically by combining a defined set of possible visual traits according to programmed rules, often producing a large collection of unique but related outputs from the same underlying system.
Many well-known NFT collections use generative art, where each individual token is a unique, algorithmically-determined combination of traits.
Examples
- A generative art NFT collection might combine background, clothing, and accessory traits algorithmically.
- Generative art can produce large collections of unique outputs from one shared underlying rule set.
