How can different datasets influence the creation of generative art in the context of societal challenges? Specifically, what kind of dataset can be used to generate visual artworks that engage and respond to the viewer on the topic of the evolving relationship between technology, science and society? What type of dataset works best to create visually appealing results?

“How can I combine datasets with visuals? I want to explore all kinds of data sets and see how I can combine them with generative art to create visual works.”

There are many different datasets that can be used as inputs for generative art: live datasets, maps, weather data, generated AI, images, etc. In this research, he want to focus on datasets that Ihe can obtain from open source sources from the Internet.
