Description

Quina relació existeix entre l'ordinador i l'atzar?, De quina manera utilitza l'ordinador els components aleatoris?, Com el Computer-art utilitza l'atzar per a desenvolupar projectes creatius?, Fins a quin punt l'atzar ha determinat el desenvolupament del Computer-art?.Aquesta obra pretén ser un estudi teòric i reflexiu sobre l’aleatorietat aplicada al Computerart, incloent l'anàlisi de textos i obres d'altres artistes i científics que han utilitzat el concepte de l'atzar per a articular els seus propis treballs i reflexionar sobre la complexitat de la nostra realitat. També s'interpretaran alguns dels aspectes suscitats pel debat creat per la unió de lo artístic i lo tecnològic. Si en èpoques anteriors el caòtic, l'irregular era un referent poc suggeridor, ara amb l'ordinador i amb una senzilla operació matemàtica que pugui generar aleatorietat, ha passat a ser un element crucial per a entendre l'actualitat de l'art contemporani. Aquest text preten introduir i estudiar aplicacions artístiques i variants teòriques derivades de la presència sorprenentment gran i multiforme del computacional, del càlcul numèric i l’aleatorietat en el nostre entorn creatiu contemporani, i observar com s'han convertit en un mitjà poderosament condicionador de les nostres activitats artístiques.
