If generative art includes that of complexity, order, and disorder (or chaos), then it would encompass a broad range of art in general. Nearly anything could be said to contain order or disorder. How does one distinguish according to one of the rules in "What is Generative Art?" by Galanter, that generative art "must be restrictive enough that not all art is generative art."
One could make the argument that chaos, as it is described in the above article, is not possible when concerning working with computers to make art. If the computer is always acting on the programmer's wishes, how is it possible to make art that is truly "random"? The creation of a randomizing function is still orderly, so the creation of anything chaotic will, at its base, be orderly.
