Autograf

Artist Statement
Autograf is an asemic writing system that generates tags by recombining marks and gestures used in graffiti tagging. The languages generated by this process are both familiar and alien its tags look like letters but remain indecipherable. It is constantly and rapidly reinscribing itself as if being generated by a gang of autonomous mecha-graf artists. The tags consume and erase one another and those that survive reproduce with one another to create stylistic hybrids. The processes behind this interaction are modelled on an experimental ecosystem made of language tags have energy, they live and die, replicate, and may steal or give energy to their neighbours. This ecosystem is sonified the generated soundtrack reflects the ebb and flow of energy in the system.
