Technologies and Workflow of Creative Coding Projects: Examples from the Google DevArt Competition
This work provides insights for artists and technologists in creative coding, but it is incremental as it summarizes existing projects without introducing new methods.
The paper analyzed 18 creative coding projects from the Google DevArt competition to identify key technologies, content types, and workflows, aiming to outline research opportunities in creative coding and art technologies.
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 content, and key workflows of these creative coding projects. The paper also discusses the potential research opportunities for creative coding and art technologies.
