Schwarm II is a generative software by Studio A N F, released in 2012 from the studio in Berlin. The software uses a swarm of drawing agents with rule-based behavior and partial autonomy to compose abstract images from the palette of a reference photograph. Schwarm II produces an infinite sequence of unique images when run and is a direct successor to Schwarm (2012).
Generative Software Process; 2012; Dimensions variable;
The software uses a swarm of particles to gradually create an abstract composition based on the color and composition of a series of photographs. The drawing agents behave according to a set of rules, but have a degree of autonomy. When the software is being run it produces an infinite sequence of unique images over time.
