The Alberta Society of Artists is proud to present GENerativeART: Algorithms as Artistic Tool a presentation by Dr. James R. Parker.

Generative art is the art of the algorithm where artists must carefully design the nature of their work, and then implement it as a computer program. He posits that computational tools can be used to augment and express human imagination. And, of course, it is fun. As Dr. Parker states “If you are not having fun then you are doing it wrong”.

James R. Parker is Professor of Art at the University of Calgary whose expertise ranges from computer simulation, image processing, artificial intelligence, game design, & generative art.

The talk will at the ASA Art Gallery and will also be live streamed through a link on the ASA website.

The Alberta Society of Artists is the oldest society of juried professional artists in the province, providing art education and exhibitions in public venues since 1931. The Society’s goal is to increase public awareness and appreciation of the visual arts in Alberta.
