There are many web sites which it might be worth consulting. I can only highlight a few, as they come to my attention.
| It is obviously necessary to note the origin of the technology that we use so much. | |
| p5js.org | This is a sister website of processing.org, dealing with method of running Processing sketches in Javascript, so they will execute within web pages. Although the Java language was intended to run within web pages, as an "Applet", and at one time most browsers supported the "plugins" to allow applets to work, various security issues now mean that it is not possible to rely on being able to run Java processes within web pages. The solution is a Javascript library that will support great deal of the Processing language. Some of the animated diagrams on this website use the Javascript version of Processing. |
| py.processing.org | Processing's "Python" mode: essentially all the libraries you get with the canonical Processing in Java, but accessed from a Python programming framework. Given he popularity of Python for introductory programming this makes a good deal of sense. My own experience is that it runs somewhat slower than the Java framework. |
| OpenProcessing | This, again, is a place to share sketches, and learn techniques from other Processing programmers. |
The "Bridges" organisation supports annual conference, dealing with connections between Art, Maths and Music has a lot of interesting material. Each conference is associated with an exhibition, with photographic records posted online. The Americal Mathematical Society (AMS) also host a number of related web pages about visual mathematics.
| The Bridges Gallery | This link summarises the individual galleries available. |
| Visual Insight | A blog on the AMS website. |
| Mathematical Imagery | An AMS website page. |
There is also an annual "Generative Art" conference. Their website contains links to papers delivered at previous conferences. (A vast amount of information, covering art theory, psychology, sociology, computing, music..... and too much to take in!)
There are also a number of websites that display works of Generative Art. I have come across the following ones.
| gasathj | An on-line journal dealing with generative art. |
Many artists now promote their work using Social Media (e.g. Instagram - I am on Instagram under the name michaelmcellin though please note that much of my work is in conventional media - particularly life drawing and portraits). You can search for tags such as #generativeart #generativedesign #algorithmicart #processing and so on.
I also manage the website for Box Art Group, based in the attractive Gloucestershire Village of Box.
