Wow, what a week. As it was my first Flash on the Beach and as well my first (Flash) conference at all I have to say that I’m really amazed of all the fun, inspiration, learning and beer drinking that has been going on in wonderful Brighton. It’s hard to say what I was expecting, but anyway what I got was way more.

While doing some general research on which technologies are good to use if you’re doing generative artwork I stumbled upon ExtendScript. It is an extended implementation of JavaScript which can be used to control and automate the major Adobe Creative Suite Applications beeing Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Since CS3 Flash can be used to build the GUI for using ExtendScript in these Applications.

The last days I’ve been working on a file which has turned out to be quite nice.

The initial thought was to draw a set of connected lines randomly moving across the canvas with predefined angles.

I constantly added new features like colors, collision detection, line thickness, random abortion of line drawing,…

So still inspired by the same exhibition now this work started from Malewitsch’s work Suprematist Composition: Airplane Flying but as I continued to work on it it grew bigger and bigger…

Some days ago I was at an exhibition and when I looked at Mondrians Composition III I just had to do that.
