> A minor thing, generative art isn't necessarily abstract art, though currently almost exclusively is.

Thank you. There's a lot of people throwing around art terminology in this thread and it doesn't always make sense.

Generative art only has to output through a photorealistic renderer and suddenly it's no longer "abstract", but "surrealism". This demonstrates how little sense it makes to apply such terms to generative art.

Let alone the fact that it's multimedia and the term really only applies to visual art. You could have "abstract music", I guess, but it means something completely different.

It's an interesting discussion though.
