Postmodern art theories, overproduction, and digital technologies are testing the creativity, innovation, and social and political engagement of art. One Dadaist solution being explored by artists is the aesthetic possibilities associated with the conceptual process. For example, in the field of electronic music, producers and DJs are claiming that remixing is a genuine example of such a creative procedure; however, to justify this claim, remixing requires the bringing of the aesthetic foundations together using digital tools. The main problem is that digital audio workstations and plug-ins enclose artists in specific frameworks that blur the boundaries between true creativity and a perception of creativity. This article sought to develop remixing codes and software using Lindenmayer systems (L-systems), which are parallel rewriting systems with a type of formal grammar. As much of their potential remains unexplored, some algorithms and interface designs were developed to improve their interactive programming options. Finally, using the programmable L-systems as a genetic metaphor, some additions to musical morphing were developed as a starting point to building a generative remixing technique.

Este artículo analiza los efectos disruptivos de la tecnología digital en el campo de la industria musical. Abordaremos la conformación del modelo Music 2.0, estudiado por George Yúdice, y la teoría de la larga cola de Chris Anderson. Analizaremos cómo ha sido el proceso de adaptación de los artistas a este nuevo ecosistema cultural, tomando como estudio de caso las estrategias de producción y distribución de la escena de la música electrónica tropical bass en la ciudad de Lima. Este género tiene como una de sus matrices la música chicha, que además de ser  un interesante fenómeno estético, tiene a su vez una gran importancia social: designa formas de socialización de un amplio sector de la población peruana y ha sido producto de los procesos migratorios de las zonas rurales a la ciudad capital, la economía informal y la crisis política.

This article summarizes the results of art based research developed thanks to a grant by the PUCP University of Lima in 2021-2022. An open source generative solution will be described, based on generative grammars, to create very complex and programmable 3D meshes. Analyzing hundreds of models generated with these algorithms, a solution was found based on the idea of "intelligent meshes", which change their behavior during the modeling process. This is done using tags, or vertices identifiers, that, like genes, describe the topological characteristics of each vertex and its generative development during the process. Tags can be programmed interactively editing its data with tools provided by the interface or using generative grammars that allow an incredible variety of complex forms and stimulate the user creativity. The research findings also elucidate some important conceptual issues, like the importance of original technology development to defend cultural identity.
