My modestly titled essay “Generative Art Is…” (written in the same time frame as a heated debate about the possibility of machine creatvity on eu-gene :-) ), accompanied by a new draw-something drawing, has been published in the latest issue of online journal Vague Terrain:

I was very pleased to be asked to write something for this excellent project, and I’m in very good company as there are also contributions from Ben Bogart, Mantissa, Marius Watz, Meta, Neil Wiernik, Paul Webb, Peter Nyboer, Philip Galanter, William Farkas, Ben Fry and Casey Reas.
Take a look, and try the archives as well, the previous issues are just as engaging.
