Generative art is a revolutionary computational method of creating artwork, models, and animations from rules or algorithms. By using accessible programming languages like Processing, artists and designers are producing geometrical and topological structures that form the basis for everything from patterned textiles and typography to lighting, scientific diagrams, sculptures, art installations, films, and even fantastical buildings. The students came to this exciting emerging field during the 4 weeks of the summer school.

生成艺术通过规则与算法来创建图形、模型、动画，是一种革命性的数字化艺术形式。通过Processing等编程工具，当代艺术家和设计师正在创作前所未有的几何与拓扑结构，这些结构正在广泛地应用于纺织品图案、平面设计、照明、科学图表、雕塑、艺术装置、电影甚至建筑。

A step-by-step how-to introduction follows, guiding students through specific, practical instructions for creating their own visual experiments by combining simple-to-use programming codes with basic design principles. The faculty members and master students from Inst.AAA (http://labaaa.org) provided everyone with all the tools to achieve proficiency. Students shared their own artwork, code, and techniques in the workshop.

为期四周的暑期工作营将学员们引入这个令人兴奋的新兴领域。课程讲解了Processing编程语言，同时介绍了生成艺术的基本原理。将理性的编程代码与美术构思相结合，每位学员通过编程进行自己的视觉实验，最终实现个性化的复杂美术作品，包括平面艺术与动画。学员们通过数理逻辑来感知自然的美与复杂性，并通过代码创造了完全不同于手绘的艺术形式。
