Adrian Ward (born 1976 in Bishop Auckland, England) is a software artist and musician. He is known for his generative art software products released through his company Signwave, and as one third of the techno gabba ambient group, Slub.[1] His theoretical approach to generative and software art guides his practice,[2][3] including contributing to the early principles of the livecoding movement.[4]

Adrian co-won the 2001 Transmediale software art award in Berlin, alongside Netochka Nezvanova for his well-known[5] Auto-Illustrator[6][7][8][9] parody of Adobe Illustrator, off-the-shelf generative software that takes control over the artwork produced with it.[10] Auto-Illustrator has earned prestigious digital arts awards[11] including an honorary mention at the 2001 Prix Ars Electronica.[12] He is also a board member of the UK Museum of Ordure, an ongoing collaborative art project with Stuart Brisley and Geoff Cox.[13][14]
