An Adventure to Find Images That Were Never Seen

An essay on generative art and creative coding. Through Vilém Flusser (technical images, the black box, the society of players) and Steve Dixon (Digital Performance), it reads data-flow software such as TouchDesigner as black boxes combined at the surface, which open a real-time dialogue with the machine. The more automated creation becomes, the more probable images it yields: the challenge remains the search for images never seen before.
