We are surrounded by computers doing such wonderful things all of the time, but for the most part they are doing predictable boring things that we ask them to.
While for the most part this is the desired effect, but what would you do if it did something completely different. And I'm not talking of buggy software that irritates the hell out of us by crashing 5 minutes before the project is due, or the slide show that just won't format correctly no matter what gods you pray to or what small animal you sacrifice.
How cool is it that there are developers out there that are making software that is there to make art, not just the end product of the process is to make art, but the whole process of using the application is part of the "art" experience. The tools are unpredictable, there are controls to "Fuck with interface" just to mess with you, controls that tell you that you are doing something boring so try something else.
I love it. Plain and simple. Take some time and play, don't give me what I want, give me something fun!
Welcome to the mindset of Signwave UK software products... Auto-Illustrator, Autoshop and other so called auto-generative systems... Allowing the user in a rather unconventional way to create while working with the tools... and working with them in a collaborative way... the tools will constantly surprise you... and the results are often beautiful and sometimes crap... but never a bore!
Go get these... all are available for demo... but well worth the time and frustration. sign|wave UK

cheers
