With the Internet fast becoming ubiquitous in the developed world artists are finding new ways to not only express themselves, but to communicate with each other across geographically remote, and often politically volotile regions of the World to collaborate with like-minds. "Generation" is an overview of creative processes evolving through computer networks, the interactions and simulated communities that spawn from them and more significantly, the art that is the process of remote interaction itself. More specifically, Generation is about generative art, whereby computers, within a networked environment such as the World Wide Web, are used as enhancer, as generator of new media content in concert with communities of collaborating artists.
