Learning Algorithmic Art

Today, we're going to explore the fascinating world of algorithmic art. This is a field where code is used to create stunning visual art pieces that are as much about the process as they are about the final product.

Here's what you can learn today:

• Generate some generative art
• Learn about procedural art
• Explore fractal art
• Get into algorithmic composition

Gather Your Tools:

• Processing.js for the win!
• OpenFrameworks: the other art library
• P5.js: The JavaScript Library

Start Creating:

Get your code on and start experimenting with these tools. Remember, the goal of algorithmic art is to create something new and interesting each time you run the code.

Don't be afraid to get weird!

Check out these books on algorithmic art:

1. Algorithmic Design
2. Algorithmic Landscape
3. The Artist, the Creator, and the Code

And remember, practice makes perfect. Happy coding!

Or, at the very least, happy trying.

Or, if you're really lucky, happy succeeding.
