ENGINE
DESCRIPTION:
Engine is a piece of software built to be a collaborative tool (between itself and a ‘painter’) - allowing the combination of pattern structure and process to produce ‘versioned’ art work . The software is written to allow for the gestural manipulation of images and live video. Engine is in perpetual beta: As it is used, the process instigates improvements that are added to the software. The screen is the medium of production, but it is limited in the way it renders the Engine’s results. Every piece can only be fully realised when is transferred into the visceral world - when it is printed. Engine is structured around the processes inherent in photography, painting and programming. It allows for images to be captured, recaptured, processed, reconstructed, gesturally manipulated - all controlled through a digital interface. The moment of completion is replaced with a versioning structure and associated naming convention.
