Study on Generative Process “Integration between the Generative and Human Generative Processes” Order is potential chaos and vice-versa. This work is part of my research on how human intervention can integrate with a generative system. It also explores the limits of human capabilities of expression as an autonomous system for generative art itself. Suminagashi Suminagashi - floating ink - technique of painting on water introduces the real generative element in the artwork. The philosophy behind this technique is very ancient and relates to Zen philosophy. By exercising with this technique you can get a sense of how subtle the equilibrium between order (the still water) and chaos (moving water) is when an external element is introduced. The graphics This is a part of a long research on the observation and study of the “flow” and the use of the “instinct” while expressing ourselves through a medium. It is something that could be called a “human generative process” involving the unconscious and instinctive side of our being. Being at the very basis of my graphic language and concept of “graphic sign”, I also adopted this approach on media such as video and painting. In fact it can probably be applied on every kind of self-expression. There is also deep interest on the meaning and use of the “error” as part of the random events in the creative process. The random variable My interest in the dynamics of randomness, led me to decide to include and enhance the “error” element in the generative process. This means that every “mistake” in the traditional procedure will be observed and possibly included in the artwork. As you can see, paper surface and ink drying process are affected by mistakes belonging to the random process. The random variable plays an important role in developing this work.

My approach to drawing is generative. This means that I use a stream of consciousness to create my works. The use of the instinct is fundamental as much as the ability to rationally observe what is happening on the support that I am using. Although It might seem a very split and almost schizophrenic method, the exercise led me to synchronise instinct and rationality so that I can easily move from one side to another. The driver is always the instinct. I very rarely start a work knowing what I want to do. It's a totally free self-expression that leads and move my choices, my hands and my body. All the senses are continuosly 'listening' to what's going on around and on the paper. When the flow finishes the second stage of the process starts: the observation and rationalisation of what I produced.

Let it brain Let your mind be free from the circumstances and the situations. Develop all the rest. One after another, the thoughts become shapes and they step into reality. Everything has shape, and not shape. Acknowledge, understand, allow your feelings flowing through your art. Liberati. Set yourself free. Filter through art things that do not embrace you. Art is itself in you. Know the art inside you, know yourself. Take a white surface, draw a line, don't think about "what", release yourself. Follow the path that points you to the direction, do not to abandon it, move as you are, breathe, take breath and dive again. Nothing of what's inside you should scare you. Taste the dimensions and shapes that become, do not worry about shape neither of the content nor the meaning. Feel yourself and the environment around you. Feel yourself in the environment around you. Reduce the time between instinct and action. Give it a reason in your line.
