generative / fields effects
01/ VERSE
Generative effects do not describe the image so much as grow a field beside it. The pattern was not in the photograph. It was in a function, waiting to be asked. The picture only decides where the function gets bent, which is less authorship than it sounds and more than nothing.
02/ SPEC
Generative effects synthesise their own pattern field procedurally and let the source image displace or modulate it, rather than transforming the photograph directly. kott's generative family covers noise-driven terrain and contouring, radial and sine fields, and spiral structures, each with controls over how strongly the image warps the underlying function. Reach for this category for backgrounds, textures and album or poster artwork where a photograph is a starting condition rather than the subject. Because the field is computed per pixel rather than tiled, output stays sharp at any export size and never repeats.
