Roman Verostko is an American artist and educator who creates code-generated imagery, known as algorithmic art. Verostko developed his own software for generating original art based on form ideas he had developed as an artist in the 1960s.

In coding his software Verostko conceives of the machine's drawing arm as an extension or prosthesis for his own drawing arm.
