SignWave Auto-Illustrator

We must admit that it seems interesting, but ... a program with an attitude? lol

Auto-Illustrator is much like any other graphic design package, with one crucial difference: this one has attitude. Its generative routines work in collaboration with the designer to help them realise exciting and abstract new artwork for use in web, print and video production.

The jury at Transmediale values Auto-Illustrator 'as a statement from where software art departs - software as 'tools' - and where it goes, namely towards an artist who becomes a programmer... whose work is algorithmic and generative'.

The artist behind the software, Adrian Ward, treats the software as an extension of his own creative aspirations. 'Users who get to know the software learn of its quirks and behaviours - which are never really consistent - and start to articulate those in their own designs. In a sense, the finished design comes out as a bizarre collaboration between them and us'. The current Beta is free, so Check it out!
