Authentic-Synthetic Art

The Authentic-Synthetic Art Project (authsynthart) is an exploration of the creative possibilities of high-context image manipulation tools. 

High-context tools are apps that take user input in the form of an image, do a significant amount of modification, and then output a stylized version of the original image. They typically allow for limited intervention by the user in the stylization process apart from selecting some initial options.

Examples of high-context tools on iOS include the Tinrocket apps, Pop-a-Graph, Brushstroke and Glaze.

These tools can produce beautiful, stylized renditions of any kind of image, including photographs, sketches, modeled scenes, and abstract designs.
