“Random Walk Across the Globe I,” Generative Art (images created by code), 2020, 24 x 18 in, $99.
Roger Hersberger ABOUT: I have a background as an artist and also as an electrical and software engineer. The relatively new field of Generative Art, which is a marriage of art and engineering, is a perfect fit for me to pursue both of my interests at the same time. After a career in engineering, my wife and I have made the move from downstate to Traverse City and to the cottage we have had on Spider Lake for 20 years. I would love to see more people getting into this field and would be interested in collaboration on a project. I am also involved in tutoring math and programming. NOTES ON “RANDOM WALK ACROSS THE GLOBE I & II” : This artwork was created using Generative Art. My tools for creating art is computer code. The code generates the lines and colors the artist wishes to see in the image. The final image that is produced is the same as one would get if taking digital photographs. This piece is composed of various small elements that are drawn one at a time while being rotated and then moved in a random direction vertically and horizontally. The image is composed of 20 elements, each drawn 20,000 times. I feel that designing the image is a creative process, but the design/ writing of the code is a creative process as well.
