Adobe Flash art by Erik Natzke

Fellow 9ruller – Justin Ruckman – has mentioned a very funky Adobe Flash based artist on his blog, Centripetal Notion.

Erik Natzke’s generative paintings are made using Flash, sometimes from sampled photos and video and other times from scratch. He controls very specifically the environment in which his creations thrive, leaving the artwork’s specificities to the whim of the code

The pictures his software creates go far beyond the normal Flash random image generators, creating the sort of thing I would actually like to hang on my wall. Some of them, despite being machine created, actually look, at least partially, like they’ve been painted with some sort of natural media (oil/ acrylic paint).

Below are a few of my faves – you can check out the original post on Centripetal Notion and Erik Natzkes blog and flickr account for more art than any normal person can handle.
