How do finite rules generate infinite forms?

In this issue, we trace the aesthetic logic of digital structures, from information aesthetics to contemporary generative practice, and ask how algorithms produce and embody value at the edge of order and randomness.

Our focus is not technique for its own sake, but critical framing:

When creation becomes procedural, what shifts in artistic subjectivity and originality?

Is the machine merely executing rules, or participating in creation?
