  1. Processing (language) by Oscaro · · Score: 1 · on How To Encourage a Young Teen To Learn Programming?

    Processing is a java subset (but you can use full java if you wish) geared toward "visual computation". You can see some great examples here http://complexification.net/gallery/ or on flickr (just search for "processing" tags). Project home page is here http://processing.org/

    I already used it to teach something to my nephew (12yo) and he finds it great, mainly because he can have some "cool" effects and stuff on the screen and can instantly see what his code does.

    Here is the link that will definitively answer this thread:

    Complexification

    Very, very beautiful visualizations of algorithmic processes and complexity -- even if you're not into "art" per se, you really should check out this site. Plus the artist offers all the code open-source. And in the interest of full disclosure, I am not the artist and don't even know the artist, although I am a huge fan.

    Complexification by Jared Tarbell fits this bill. While it's more fun to play around with his Java applets, I can see some of the prints being a cool addition to a tech environment.

    Just google "generative art" and you'll get more than enough responses to check out.

    For anyone else interested in looking at procedurally generated art, take a look at http://www.complexification.net/gallery/ -- It hasn't been updated in quite a while, but there's some very neat things hanging around in there.

  8. Re:Graphical stuff it the way to go by Wm_K · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Software Engineering Demo for a K-5 Career Fair?

    I agree with you that creating something visual is very rewarding but my suggestion instead of povray would be Processing.

    "Processing is a programming language and environment built for the electronic arts and visual design communities. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook. It is used by students, artists, designers, architects, and researchers for learning, prototyping, and production." Where you can show the examples of Complexification on what they can achieve.

    Software engineering is ofcourse more than just programming. But being able to show some nice visuals can make it all much more interesting.

    These applets are quite beautiful.

    Gallery of Computation is also very interesting way of generating "art" of a different kind.

    This guy, for example, has a wonderful gallery of computer-generated art. The system he uses is used both to teach programming in a visual way, and to create some great art (some of which was exposed in various museums).

  12. The question is "who is the artist?" by Oscaro · · Score: 1 · on Is Computer-Created Art, Art?

    You ask "is IT art?"
    I think the question is "wrong", since this is art of course, but the artist is the programmer.

    Also you ask "Does anyone know of other candidates for computer-created art?"
