Language of Vision by György Kepes

Kepes, an artist, designer and theoretician, analyzes the effect of visual language on the structure of human consciousness. The book’s explored the concept of visual language and how elements such as line, color and form could be used to create new visual structures. In addition to influencing the post-war Japanese avant-garde, the book also provided a theoretical foundation for the creation of generative art. It outlined principles of composition as well as encouraging experimentation and innovation with basic forms, a task perfectly suited to algorithmic art.
