demoscene.tv

The demoscene has been around since the dawn of computers. This underground computer subculture shows what can be done using skilled programming, a keen eye for visuals and an ear for music. Since demos must run in real-time on the computers they are programmed for they often push the limits of what can be done with the hardware. Demoscene.tv showcases demos from a variety of different groups, on a variety of platforms. You can also read more about the demoscene on Wikipedia, or check out the FAQ.

Karsten Schmidt

Karsten Schmidt’s website Toxi has some really great experiments in generative/computational form.

Matsys

Matsys (material systems) explore the relationshps between architecture, engineering, biology and computation. Similar to WWEK their projects consist of generative structures that are not dissimilar to organically created shapes.

WWEK

WWEK (white weekend kites) is a collective researching computational forms in architecture. Some of the concepts are amazing. Definitely worth a look for those of you into generative art or futuristic architecture.

Art From Code

In a similar vein to Subblue, Art From Code has some wonderful examples of the beauty of generative art.

Subblue

Subblue is a great new blog by Tom Beddard, which explores the process of creating generative and mathematical art (art through code). There are even code examples for the tech minded of you. It’s a bit light on content at the moment but it will definitely be one to watch.

Carsten Nicolai

Carsten Nicolai

German artist Carsten Nicolai has some great artworks and installation pieces. Many of the works seem generative, creating beauty from chaos.
