# Generative Art × Net.art — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=generative-art+net-art
# Generative Art carries the structure. Net.art appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Generative Art (Style, 1965–) and its accent from Net.art (Style, 1990s–). Structural cues: Rule and randomness together; The plotter's line; Variation through repetition; The work as system. Accent cues, used sparingly: Link structures; Browser UI; Errors; Participation and transmission. Composition: Seed and random range set, outputs laid side by side to inspect the spread. Type and lettering: Letters handled as coordinates and repetitions with the face itself fixed. Let one material quality come from the second style: HTML, GIF, error screens and slow loading treated as material. Mood: Technology, Calm, Play, Rebellion. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #ffffff, #0000ee, #111111. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Digital Art, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Generative Art: A random range set too wide widens the gap between good and bad results and leaves a pile of output instead of a work.
# - Net.art: Reproducing the early web look as a flat image leaves nothing that links, transmits or invites participation, and the network that was the site of the work disappears.
