In the video, Casey Reas talks about the evolution of art based on changes witnessed in the surroundings. Disturbance in the surroundings through wars or natural calamities often results in a shift in the art with a clear depiction of chaos. I found this observation to be really interesting as I had never considered that external factors could affect the type of art a person creates.
He further elaborates on the elements seen in art such as chaos and order which greatly influence the way one perceives the art.
A parallel is drawn between art and code, with a focus on order and randomness and how a slight change in symmetry can entirely transform a creative piece from a state of order to absolute chaos.
The video sheds light on the evolution of art through the years and how the state of randomness can now be expressed in a more complex way.
I found the discussion on the space between order and chaos quite insightful, and hope to consciously implement and analyze these concepts while viewing art and code in the future.
