Interestingly, generative art is 50 years old, maybe more! Check for example the work of Vera Molnar, creating generative art with science computers and tracers back in 1968: http://dam.org/artists/phase-one/vera-molnar/artworks-bodies... The national museum of modern art in Paris actually has 8 piece of a similar later work from 1976 in its collection : http://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/ressource.action?param.id=F...
