Alphabet Synthesis Machine
- Alphabet Synthesis Machine
The Alphabet Synthesis Machine is a work of interactive art which makes use of genetic algorithms to "evolve" a set of glyphs similar in appearance to a real-world writing system. The project was developed by Golan Levin, a new-media artist, in collaboration with Cassidy Curtis and Jonathan Feinberg.
