Here's a selection of images constructed in Illustrator using a generative process that builds an image out of a tweet stream. The engine is built in AIR and then communicates to Adobe Illustrator via Switchboard to create the text from the loaded tweet, position it randomly and then colour the text based on the pixel values of the source image that the text is positioned upon.

There are high-res versions of the images available to view also. Be warned; these are huge and were created over a period of around 12 hours in Illustrator.
