For the process of creating the generative Art I had to look into different methods of creation. One program I've started looking at is called Processing. This involves code writing, which is great for generative art as it creates an object/animation which responds to a set of rules given to it.

An example of what can be done in this program is seen below

Here are a few other links that are useful for tutorials etc.
