Presentation of the problem

How behavioural interfaces can aid the performance of generative visuals?

Some definitions Generative art refers to any art practice where the artist uses a system that operates with some degree of autonomy, and contributes to or results in a completed work of art. Systems may include natural language instructions, biological or chemical processes, computer programs, machines, self-organizing materials, mathematical operations, and other procedural inventions.

Some definitions
Understood as accesses dynamic process, the interface promotes a complex reading of the image as a sensible / intelligible, inaugurating a hybrid view in its own way, and recurrent in the process. Understood as god of passages, the interface is both the journey and arrival at the totalized image of subjectivity, based on an enlarged specularity is not based in reality nor exhausted. Finally, the interface as an access to a work of art, extends the notion of work and artist, articulating that access the process of formation of subjectivity and its understanding of reality. [2]

Proposal Open environments are subject to change in unpredictable ways, as applications may arrive, evolve, or disappear. In order to validate components in such environments, it can be useful to build simulation environments which reflect this highly unpredictable behavior. [3]
