“engines” for generative art

this is an on-going series of potential catalytic forces/machines for auto-producing works of art:

non-man-made: organic/physical
1. -gravity
2. -oxidization
3. -electrolysis
4. -alkalization – (i.e. the neuro-chemical effect of any drug (that occurs in nature) ending in “–ine”)
5. -sympathetic vibration
6. -erosion
7. -wind/sun
8. -predictable animal behaviors (circadian rhythms, reproductive behaviors, time or light-based noise-emitting, etc.)
9. -heat/fire
10. -light (bleaching) vs. lack of light
11. -magnetism
12. -photosynthesis
13. -weight distribution of non-dense substances (i.e. air and helium, oil and water)
14. -wave interference/wave harmonization
15. -convection
16. -infection
17. -freezing
18. -crystallization
19. -nuclear fusion/fission (by stars)
20. -singularity


man-made: mechanical/electrical/electronic/human

1. -numbering systems (i.e. random number generators, Fibonacci series, fractals) and computer software designed to employ these numbering systems.
2. -memory
3. -crowd-behaviors
4. -sleep
5. -breathing
6. -reproduction-related behavior
7. -low-friction perpetual motion devices
8. -feedback (audio or video)
9. -Différance/syntagmatic context
10. -A-synchronicity of machines
11. -alkalization – (i.e. the neuro-chemical effect of any (man-made) drug ending in “–ine”)
12. -serotonin reuptake inhibition
13. -hypnosis
14. -vitrification
15. -nuclear fusion/fission (by people)
16. -infrasound
