Sometimes art isn’t a tangible object but an experience. Since installation and video art emerged in the 90s, these artists have embraced digital technology. Toby Joe explains how the frameworks for animation are evolving in a cross-posted blog post Toward the Bare Metal: From Flash to Processing, OpenFrameworks, and Beyond, “A lot of people moved from Flash to Processing – a great Java-based framework and IDE – as their interests moved away from wide distribution (via the Flash player) towards lower-level access to the hardware.” OpenFrameworks is a C++ library for creative coding. An artist collaborative called Field showcases the video above with some information about their processes. Code has created art, but coding is an art in itself.
