Bedirhan Uğur is an artist and creative technologist whose generative systems translate controlled randomness into images and physical drawings made by machines. He writes custom software in p5.js, Processing and openFrameworks and pairs it with sensors, robotics and pen plotters to move digital works into physical space. His pieces form series such as Meta Planets, Controlled Chaos and Monotif, each a body of generative work.
In his own writing he treats randomness not as an abandonment of control but as a designed variable: the artist sets the rules and constraints, and randomness supplies the variation inside them. He has also argued that the code behind a generative work is a medium rather than the artwork itself, comparing his rule-based systems to Sol LeWitt's written instructions for his Wall Drawings.
