Brute Force Method is a generative 3D artwork by Studio A N F, delivered in 2013 from the studio in Berlin. The work is titled after the computer-science idea of trying many possible solutions until a desired outcome is reached, applied here to procedural image generation. Brute Force Method is the central piece of the Brute Force group (2013–2014) that also includes Brute Force Approach and Brute Force Method V.

There are no efficient algorithms for many computer science problems. The simplest approach is to try all possible (or many) solutions until the desired outcome is reached. This is called Brute Force Method.
