This paper discusses my personal trajectory and development in the act of generating art. The desire to create art works through a generative process came about through a need to extend my personal creative, aesthetic, philosophical, and knowledge boundaries. Through doing so a sense and experience of interconnectedness arose that may seem incongruous with the idea of computer-generated art as being in some way soulless and lacking in ‘human’ sensibilities. This possibly came about through the understanding that computer-based systems perceive the world with absolutely equality, every object is considered through numbers and through relationships of and between numbers. With this in mind, based systems and procedures, when set in motion, offered a unique perspective for the creative artist. One in which a colour, a movement, an articulated idea, the motion of air and its interpretation (sound), the physiological responses, the behaviour of flora and fauna, and so on, can be integrated, adjusted, influenced by and influential on, the creation of something that while generated from the sum of its parts far exceeds the sum of those parts
