<< Software is mind control. Come and get some. >>

Generative art refers to "any art practice where the artist uses a system, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other procedural intervention, which is set into motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art."Generative art is only concerned with generative processes.

'Software Art' refers to artistic activity that enables reflection of software and software's cultural significance within the medium - or material - of software.
