Cinder | The library for professional-quality creative coding in C++ Visual code designers; the right / left brain dillema. « kinobrand design // Geneva, Lausanne. A new kind of designer is emerging on the face of the new mediums of technology and information. Mobile devices, tablets, the proliferation of connectivity and the open source democratization are some of the reasons for this new paradigm. We are used to think that designers often work mainly with the right side of the brain and programmers work exactly with the opposite hemisphere (check out the right brain / left brain inventory ).
There is a clear gap between the two but sooner or later someone will have to cross the line, so the only question is who will do it first. On the one hand its easier for programmers to learn the tools of design, while its harder for designers to learn programming. On the other hand design is not about using tools, it’s a whole way of thinking, being the tools just the last step to accomplish a project.

Generative art as defined by Philip Galanter is, “Any art practice where the artist creates a process, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other mechanism, which is then set to motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a complete work of art.”
I became a huge fan of generative art after I went to a presentation by Joshua Davis at Adobe Max. His presentation was on his new experimental work, titled “space”. It was a real treat to see how Joshua pushes himself and his work to the next level. He is by far a master in this area. After the workshop, I was really inspired to find as many resources as I could on creating generative art. I personally like the idea of generating art inside of Flash with some ActionScript. Processing Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.
