Fusing Frontiers / HP Spark

Digital / Print / Software development

What started as an experiment visualising algorithms in print led to the development of the software HP Spark in collaboration with HP Indigo. This brings creative coding and generative art into a print environment, revolutionising variable digital printing. Fusing frontiers is the first exploration of this technology.
