Dynamic painting
Dynamic painting is a movement in visual arts where paintings are updated on an on-going basis. The artist determines the general principles for image genesis and develops algorithms for transformation methods. The resulting image depends on a myriad of factors, and is, as a rule, unpredictable.

[edit] Design
The Dynamic Paintings can be considered a generative art—an art that has been generated algorithmically by a computer system. Unlike all other generative art examples that account for just a few basic artistic principles and require very little artist input, Dynamic Paintings require the skills of an artist. An artist begins creation of a Dynamic Painting by conceiving an idea for the painting, selecting basic colors, shapes and principles of their development over time. Unlike a conventional painter, the artist has to think in one more dimension to properly design the evolution of images as the painting would develop.
[edit] Process
Using various techniques that have deep roots in the styles of conventional paintings, an artist converts the brush strokes into algorithms that can precisely convey his original design of a digital painting. Once the Dynamic Painting has been designed and programmed, it is up to a computer system to bring it to life.
[edit] Results
This algorithm represents the "DNA" of the picture. Just like the DNA of a living organism, with a slight mutation, the image algorithm can produce an infinite number of unique paintings. A carefully devised "mutation" algorithm uses a computer to generate a series of distinct images that follow the style and concept of the original painting. This "mutation" process can be slowly animated over time to produce a fluid motion within the element of a painting; producing a never-ending and never repeating show. The painting is always in the state of a perpetual transformation. The picture living its own life with objects moving and transforming but still following the original artist's concept.
