Abstract

Recently, many artists and creative technologists created computer programming as a goal to create something expressive instead of something functional. In this paper, I analyzed 18 creative coding projects from the Google DevArt competition and summarized the critical technologies, types of creative coding projects, and key workflows of these creative coding projects. The paper also discusses the potential research opportunities for creative coding and art technologies.
