NEW YORK: A Boston-based computer coder has turned his hand to modifying the Google Maps API to produce some very cool generative art.
Shaun Utter has created a site that automatically generates scenes from a host of predetermined cities, colouring them in shocking fluorescent tones.
Generative art is produced automatically and often employs computer coding to take data – in this case Google’s mapping files – and to invert colour palletes or produce visual effects.
