Light Up the Darkness ...

"Let us unify through love and music -
God is with us and he lifts us Up !"

morpheus: I used to be resistant to the idea of art, design & coding. It wasn’t just fear that I couldn’t do it, though that was part of it; it was also the sense that I wouldn’t be able to get to the actual art and music making if I got too involved in programming. And, actually, that bit can be true. But a group of pioneers, working on projects like Processing, vvvv, OpenFrameworks, and other intelligent development frameworks, has been working really hard to make code an elegant an expressive tool rather than a hindrance. Processing has reached widespread popularity, vvvv too because it does this really, really well — even if you’ve never programmed before. The art of handling and presenting data more expressively is exploding fast. It was a big part of the impetus behind the creation of Processing, the artistic coding tool. (In fact, a lot of those post reminds me of some of the ideas Ben Fry). While Processing is often used by artists for other purposes, it was born as a means of making data visual and aesthetical. Great tools! Great possibilities! Enjoy it!
