How can we rethink our relationship with art, and with the title of the self-ordained "artist"?

Soft Renders is a generative art series that explores the boundaries between traditional aesthetics and computational systems. Each piece is designed to drift slowly and continuously, mimicking the softness of analog media — such as oil washes or charcoal smudges — through digital code.

​

Built in TouchDesigner using real-time rendering, noise fields, and feedback systems, the project reimagines digital painting as an ambient, contemplative experience.

​​

The work challenges the assumption that generative art must be fast or visually complex, proposing instead a quieter model of authorship — one that values presence over performance, and process over product.

Design Prompts

  1. Can generative systems evoke the tactility of analog media?

  2. What does authorship mean in a world of autonomous creation?

  3. Can digital art escape the pressure to impress — and simply be?
