Generative Art as Meditation

As someone fascinated by both generative art and meditation:contentReference[oaicite:36]{index=36}, I often find the two pursuits intertwine. Writing code for art can induce a flow state similar to deep meditation. The mind focuses, time falls away, and creative emergence takes over – much like a mindfulness practice.

In generative art, simple rules give rise to complex beauty (think of fractals or procedural designs). This mirrors how focused breathing or yoga routines lead to emergent states of clarity. The process itself is the art. I've noticed that after a coding session on my Generative Mandala piece, I feel the same calm as after a Yoga session. Perhaps creativity and spirituality are not separate paths but one and the same – both are about exploring the infinite through different mediums.
