The Generated Space is a gallery of procedural and generative art which encompasses a wide variety of techniques and methods. It was created by the wonderful developer and artist Kjetil Golid.

In Kjetil’s own words:

It presents a wide range of different generative algorithms; from organic flow fields and particle systems to rigid fractals and grammar-based shapes. Some more serious than others.

The variety of generative art is really astounding, with creations taking inspiration from a wide range of diverse origins and sources.

From artists such as Jackson Pollock:

Exploring different generative algorithms and ideas, like Cellular Automata:

A lot of new bells and whistles on my Hatch Automata client-thing!⚡️ Now able to generate a wider variety of patterns and structures: https://t.co/D8FQscZpE6 Create something cool and press 'p' to download it!👩‍🎨 (non-mobile browser recommended) pic.twitter.com/X4x9peqzdr

As well as amazing studies of isometric forms and shapes, creating wonderfully complex structures:

Are you looking for the next big adventure within the wild world of text editors? Something a little more exciting than your day-to-day, monospaced, “every time you press a key the letter appears” life?

Well, here it is: TEXTREME! The new frontier in text editor functionality. And the recipe is perfect…

1. A pinch of pixelized 8-bit typography. (With Unicode support.)

2. A splash of particle explosions, one for every letter you type.

3. A swirling sensory explosion of thumps and thuds for every keypress — A laser zap for each new line.

4. For every character you delete, send it flying off the editor like there’s no tomorrow.

5. To see if you can type to a metronomic beat, a super quirky rhythm mode.

When I think of placeholder images, I will always think of the forever wonderful placekitten and placepuppy. This project though, adds a beautiful piece of randomness, art, and joy that we’ve come to know and love from generative art.

Generative Placeholders has an artistic and nerdy flair with the added perk that your placeholders will be extra unique!

The project offers a wide range of great generative and mathematical art. It has also gone above and beyond to include some wonderful color palettes, provided by the lovely nice color palettes node module.

For example:

and

If you’re concerned that all your images will look the same, fear not! There’s an extra URL parameter (img=X) where X is the specific seed you would like to use for each individual image.

Synesthesia is a condition where certain senses overlap. For example, you could smell colors, or see sounds!

Bernadette Sheridan has a type of synesthesia whereby letters and numbers appear as colors within her brain (grapheme-color synesthesia). She has created a lovely map of those colors so we can experience it as well.

What Color Is Your Name? allows you to type in your name and see the colors that it produces. It’s a wonderfully simple idea grounded in Bernadette’s reality.

Does name match your personality? It might, depending on what color it is. https://t.co/e4tFjZe0J3 pic.twitter.com/kdQWLFvlRz

You may be surprised by what you find. For me, I’m a long combination of blues, with a yellow flair right at the end. You can play around with random names on the site, or browse the project’s Twitter account and see everyone sharing their colors!

This is such a beautiful exercise. Thank you, Bernadette Sheridan! @SynesthesiaMe pic.twitter.com/7LfaEWUKes

The project has done a fantastic job of raising awareness of the condition, and to boot, allows you buy a beautiful, clean print of whichever word you choose. Which can make for a wonderful and unique gift, as well as a perpetual talking point!

If you’ve ever looked into shaders, then you’ve probably run into Shadertoy, a fantastic tool for building shaders in the browser, as well as a community for showing off what you’ve made. That said, Shadertoy’s aesthetic and appeal is directly targeted at developers who want the shader and its code.

CineShader, is a layer over top of Shadertoy created by Lusion. It’s a website built to share your shader with a broader audience. CineShader does this in a way that shows off more than just the art. It showcases the beauty and feel of the shader as though it’s artwork on a wall.

Today, we are launching CineShader - A cinematic shader visualiser! It is a little side project we created for the shader community using the @Shadertoy API. Retweet is appreciated.😉

By creating a 3D scene, along with a dark shaded audience member, CineShader creates the tone and feel of being in a gallery, silently observing and enjoying a piece of work

Canvas Cards is an amazing year-long project by Luke Patton which features weekly creations using HTML <canvas> elements. Each of the cards has a different set of inspirations, looks, aims, and goals. And wow are they beautiful!

This week's card, another Hilma af Klint inspired piece. Grab the code and check out the full gallery here: https://t.co/upLwkNcfQl #generative #creativecoding pic.twitter.com/pSgEnidwrO

The website itself also allows you to edit the code and re-run the preview in the browser, meaning you can get to play with each and every demo without cloning the repository.

The different combinations of colors and styles have really kept the project amazingly interesting as it progressed throughout the year.

For anyone who’s ever tried to do something every week for an entire year, you know how difficult it can be, which really gives the project that extra special shine.

Artist and creative developer Lars Berg has one of the most amazing portfolios out there, full of wondrous WebGL experiments that always push the envelope.

Lars’s sketchbook is really one to sink your teeth into! From weird springy life-like paper image stretchy things.

To creepy spikey slug creatures that will completely weird you out.

after playing more with instancing, I wanted to try using a nurbs(https://t.co/pTijhfEsU1) surface to control the mesh instances. It makes it easy to slide stuff along the surface #codevember #threejshttps://t.co/LFokZuyBSB pic.twitter.com/MPLn03Nxlh

Really, the creativity just doesn’t end.
