This is so cool. If you follow the 'generative art' link you'll see the Condensation Cube..just wicked.

It seems like shes trying to justify herself a bit in the beginning, comparing the programming to a "classical" painter and their brush. Who cares?! This is art and its awesome art, i didnt think for a moment that it is somehow less valuable. Maybe it takes less time, practice, or manual labor.. that's an argument of skill and virtue and its separate from the validity of the visually appealing work she has created-- and yes it has just as much a psychological/'deeper' intrigue as an oil painting. Its a pioneering creation; its new, unique, and just freakin' cool.
