Obtuse Nature - Repurposing Natural Systems for Computational Art

Obtuse Nature explores naturally occurring systems that generate complex patterns from simple sets of rules. The workshop will provide the opportunity for participants to work with a number of naturally inspired algorithms, they will then be guided through how to develop and artistically re-purpose these simple systems creating intricate and individually unique generative works of art.

The workshop will expose the participants to a number of concepts and examples of generative art produced with naturally inspired systems. The workshop will focus more on how to develop these systems into interesting generative artworks rather than coding from the ground up. This workshop is geared towards beginner to intermediate coders.
