These pieces were created with the intention of using a simple process that everyone could easily have access to. For these works I used the gradient tool in Photoshop along with basic RGB color schemes. Through clicking or dragging of the mouse vibrant abstract images are created. Each one is unique in their design and nearly impossible to replicate even when given the same tools to another person. I like to think of this as an exercise of participatory generative art.
The quote below from Mr. Toledano is spot on with his insight of digital media, so I will leave you with his thoughts...
“I wouldn’t say everything can be had easily - good ideas are just as hard to find as they used to be… What matters I think is not the process, but the end result… Otherwise, Warhol’s soap boxes etc, would be of no interest at all, if we were to judge art by how easy it is to create…Since the process is almost always invisible in art, the sense of wonder, for me at least, remains - an extraordinary idea, a beautiful thought, a skilled hand… All these things are as amazing as they were before the web.” - Phil Toledano
