\"Andre<\/a>There’s been a cross-blogging comment buzz between myself and Andre SC<\/a> (fellow Jo’burger Andre Clemens – that link is to his prints in discussion) as of late, since he picked up on my Compressionist<\/a> movement.  Trained in information theory and design, Andre has been crossing over into the fine art realm as of late – beginning with his PornAgain and NetPorn series (some featured at GordArt<\/a>), and now working with ‘Search Engine Compressionism<\/a>‘. Beautiful and interesting stuff, created using experimental, generative, iterative and sometimes performative algorithms (mixed with aesthetic decision-making here and there).<\/p>\n

We’re talking about a live-ish generative net.art collaboration, potentially. Watch this space….
