(gentle upbeat music)- [Instructor] Hello and welcometo the Generative Art with
Touch Designer Course.I'm a host and instructor, Rik Lomas.Throughout this course,we'll be building up chapter by chapterto get you to a point where
you'll be able to buildyour own professional level lookinggenerative art from scratch.But what is generative art?So, firstly, generative art is
not artificial intelligence.

It's nothing to do with AI.We have full control over
exactly what we are doing here.We are basically making a systemwhere we control what is going onwhilst also giving the computer
a little bit of control too,which means that every single timewe run these little programs,we'll get a completely different
outcome every single time.So even if you start with
exactly the same system,the computer will add
some randomness in hereor some noise in here to get a
completely different outcome.

Our art is a system but
we don't have full controlover the system.So an example of one of these systemsis in project number one,
which is called hallo prima.And what we're gonna be working on hereis basically taking a
texture such as a image,like a photo of me, and
essentially distorting itto make it look very, very different.Every single time we run this systemwe're gonna get a different outcome,whenever we change a parameter
in this system as well.

It's also gonna give us vastly
different outcomes as well.And once we're done with this,we can save it to a video or an image.So let's dive in.It's time to make some art.
