Most of the images and videos you see here were created with the help of code. I primarily work in Processing 3, which is Java-based, and p5.js, which is the Javascript-based version of Processing. The Processing community is a vibrant assortment of artists, designers and technical folks. And the people are nice! The Processing forums are the first place I go whenever I get stuck, and I usually walk away with a useful nugget of information.
Huge shout out goes to the Processing Foundation; Creative code has been around for a long time, but Processing was my introduction to the discipline. Also, a huge shout out to Gray Area, an amazing organization operating in a similar space. They’re a creative technology institution in San Francisco’s Mission District, offering live shows, workshops and a 12-week immersive program that I highly recommend.
