Abstract
Generative art is the term that receives a series of art works determined algorithmically and generated by computers. Complex landscapes capable of generating infinite variations using as medium chemical systems, biology, mechanics and robotics, intelligent materials, manual randomness, mathematics, cartographic data and symmetries, among others. These referents settle their conceptual bases on theories of Complex Thought and their visualization in the use of networks. In recent decades, our society has moved from a hierarchical model of knowledge, based on a tree structure, to another based on rhizomatic principles. On the epistemological level, this new pattern introduces the problem of Complex Thought as the key to organize and manage the large amount of information to which we are exposed. But, how to visualize this complexity? The network can be considered a structural and organizational model that permeates almost all areas of knowledge and that enables to find coherent patterns that explain the meaningful connections that carries the huge amount of information we produce and manage today. Complexity and networks as a methodology to visualize the data grammar and information on which a series of artistic installations that research the complexity of the contemporary landscape are based.
