Twodotone / Boghe: Processing graf

Ubi at Twodotone sent me a link to a sweet project he’s done in Processing, made all the sweeter by the fact that he’s using my SimplePostscript library (recently updated to work with Processing BETA).

What started out as a simple drawing experiment rapidly expanded into a PostScript-outputting tool. It was then used by graffiti artist The Boghe to create 3 posters which have been turned into PDFs and made available for download. In my experience, getting work output in a format you can use professionally makes a big difference as to what can be done with it. The transition in this project from quick experiment to potential tool proves the principle.

Anyway, it seems like graffiti and generative art are having a few love affairs these days. First there was Hektor, then GraffitiAnalysis and now there’s rumors of all sorts of graf-related projects. Makes you wonder why electronic artists are so attracted to drawing processes.
