Before I do that, I have to say, I feel like I'm only standing here today because I stopped working 10 months ago. I didn't quit my job or anything, but as you can see here..."

- I was very pregnant and ready to pop.
- I gave birth to a beautiful baby.
- Went on maternity leave for 6 months and I know it sounds fake, but...

- I actually found time to code on leave.
- But I had a rule for myself
- to only code if it was for fun stuff like art...

- By the end of my leave
- I was amazed at how coding art like this
- helped with the practical data science skills I needed when I returned to work
- I want to give a tiny glimpse into how that was possible

::: notes
- I want to give a disclaimer
- it's OK if you don't know how to make generative art.
- It's OK if you don't even like art.
- It's OK if you don't know much about data science.
- My hope is that you treat this talk like a "choose-your-own-adventure".
- Just like those old goosebumps books...
- I'm not the only old person in here who remembers those right?
- They kinda looked like this...

<h1>What is Generative Art?</h1>
</center>
::: notes
So I want to pose a question to you all, you don't have to answer me out loud, but just think for a second, what do ***you*** think generative art is?
- Is it opening up a digital sketchpad and physically drawing on a screen?
- Or creating outputs from AI art platforms like Dall-E or Lensa?
I couldn't find an official definition for you all, so I'm making one right here, right now.
:::
## What is Generative Art? {.purple background-color="#6c4161"}
<br> <br>
In this room today, Generative Art is defined as:
<br> <br>
> **Artwork created through a program in any language or interface.**
<br><br>
::: {.fragment}
> <center>**As long as a program executes the generation of the art...<br>...it can be considered generative art.**</center>

Now this is vague and general, and yes. that's on Purpose<br>
- Because I can guarantee you, that there are multiple definitions of generative art floating around in this room right now.
- I'm also assuming that at least 1 of you is thinking of AI art.
- And I just want to say We are not talking about AI art today
- and i do have two statements regarding that...

- Safe to say we have some "data" people in here and that some of you have probably created data visualizations with R or Python.
- If you know how to make visuals in R or Python, you're already so close to making generative art... (NEXT ->)

"MIGHT NOT BE AS HARD AS YOU THINK" (Read the damn slide girl)
Now...
- I'm going to be real with ya'll, I don't have enough time here to truly explain in depth how to make complicated art with code
- I mean, Posit, Jenny, Hadley, ya'll got my e-mail, I can help with the art workshop next year if ya'll want, I'm just saying, but for right now
- All of the code examples for the art you'll see today is on this talk's github repo
- so you all can listen to me attempt to give a crash course right now,
- but after the dust is settled and you're back home, know that these resources are available to you to digest later.
- Because we are about to Zoom

<center>*If it lets you plot data, it will let you make art...*</center>
::: notes
- When first creating art
- It's helpful: picking a data visualization tool that you're comfortable with
- For me, that's ggplot2 in R
- But you can choose whatever language and graphical tool you'd like.
- The main point is: if a tool lets you plot data, it will let you make art.
- The challenge comes in: when you need to understand how data translates into a visual.
- Without fail, whenever I do a talk like this, there's always somebody who says...

And I get it. It can be tricky, so let's stop for a minute and Imagine that we want to draw a line on a piece paper, like, in the real world...

- If someone is physically able to pick up a pen and use it
- We might assume it's easy for them to draw a single line on a paper
- We can argue that maybe a perfectly straight line might be hard right?...

- So let's use graph paper instead
- Now this may be way easier for people b/c we have a visual guide of grid lines,
- But if you stop and think...where have we probably seen a grid like this before?
- Possibly in your favorite visualization tools
- for me, it's ggplot2.
- The grid lines reminds me of the coordinate system all ggplots are created on...
:::

<center>{.false width="60%"}</center>
::: notes
- So knowing this..
- we can set values to every mark we make on the paper...
- Just like a coordinate system in your favorite graphical tool would.
- We have 4 coordinate points in this line, each with an x and y value
- Where we have 4 values from 1 to 4 on the X axis horizontally
- and a constant value of 1 on the y axis repeated 4 times to make a straight horizontal line.
- Now this may seem overly simple, but this is all it takes to create generative art.
- The trick here is that you need to understand the relationship between the visuals you want, the data you need and the coordinate system you set.
- Let's look at this in more detail in Python..

- Again, we start with your packages (say them)
- and an idea of what to make - cityscape, sky, moon, and buildings
- First I decide to make the sky in the background, so..
- I make a data frame with numbers that when mapped on the ggplot will look like horizontal lines filling the page
- i also add variables for the color and size of the lines
- and when this data frame is plotted with the geom_segment fx we've added to our ggplot, we get this beautiful gradient on the right.

- We then add this dataframe into the plot with the geom_point fx at the bottom

- If you hate math like I do, that's OK, you can still make art.
- I also hope you all took note of how "intentional" alot of the process can be
- While there's some artists out there that rely heavily on automated systems, or finetuning AI prompts
- There are some of us out here spending hours exploring and creating art with code in this manner.
So now that everyone is up to speed about what generative art is, and you have some idea of how it can be made, let's quickly touch on some of the benefits of making art like this
