Inspiration

As Santa faces the enviable task of visiting every house on the globe in the space of a few hours, I began wondering what might be top of an Artist’s Christmas list.

Most of you have the requisite tools of the trade, so what if you could ask our rotund rouge friend of Lapland for something slightly more fantastic?

Where algorithms might be a scientific route to creating art, what if you were able to perceive everyday objects, sounds and images differently?

The inspiration behind all invention, be it mechanical or artistic is largely shrouded in the mystery of individual mindset.

Arguably, any human creation is the manifestation of certain conditions. For a piece of music it might be the end of a relationship. For a painter it might be the scene out of a window.

Imagine those conditions were implanted by a computer code? An algorithm.
