Algorithmic Paintings of Charles Csuri :: 10.2005

"When I was a traditional painter I often thought there was a direct relationship between the tactile kinesthetic sense and emotion. That is, the bolder my brush stroke the greater the power and feeling. I learned there is not a direct correspondence. Now I am working with the computer as an artistic medium. I see the relationships between objects as transformations involving position, rotation and scale. At a higher level it is a flow of functions, procedures and algorithms. Outwardly, this has become my new canvas. I work back and forth altering the relationships between objects, colors and textures in a world space. Finally, I decide if it is art."
