After the first release in 2021, the “Coding Art” book has found its way into the hands of hundreds of artists, creative technologist and designers. We heard that it’s also on the syllabus of courses in design education across three continents. ✨ With all the fantastic feedback we have received, there are now more news:

Japanese edition

The Japanese edition of “Coding Art” was published in June 2023 by BNN. It was masterfully translated by Tatsuo Sugimoto who we met in Sapporo in October this year. BNN also did a great job on the overall prpoduction; the book looks superb and feels great to work with.

Second edition

In the second edition, we have incorporated lots of feedback for text and code examples. But foremost, we have added two entirely new chapters on p5.js: starting with a few inspirations on generative art, we show you how to make use of the four steps and create a series of static and interactive pieces. And we do this with p5.js, so all pieces are ready for the web.

In the second new chapter, we take on a whole new challenge: creating experiences on mobile devices with acceleration and device orientation. Again we use p5.js and go through several steps. This is how you make generative art interactive.

Check out the new second edition and let us know about your feedback.
