AI Generated Art:
the culminance of procedural art ?
DIGITAL ART
= art done with software
!=
SOFTWARE ART
= software is the art
if art is born
of constraint
and comes a support with
virtually no limit
then we define our own
arbitrary constraints

the boundaries of computer programming language design,
as a proof of concept, as software art, or as a joke.
