Code goes in, Art comes out
summary
Explains how code produces surprising, coherent art by combining Quil (Clojure) + Processing with selective randomness and emergent rules, shows a recursive triangle subdivision that yields widely different outputs from the same program, demonstrates physical output via an axidraw plotter and Wacom input, surveys agent systems, cellular automata and GANs, claims aesthetics can be encoded partly but requires a human–program collaboration, and shows the workflow works via fast REPL feedback.
