What is Processing..
Processing is a dynamic and flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology.
“the software has engaged a new generation of visual artists to consider programming as an essential part of their creative practice.”
The Processing software is used by visual designers, artists, and architects to create their works. Projects created with Processing have been featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and many other prominent venues. Processing is used to create projected stage designs for dance and music performances; to generate images for music videos and film; to export images for posters, magazines, and books and to create interactive installations in galleries, in museums, and on the street.
p5.js is a JavaScript library for creative coding, with a focus on making coding accessible and inclusive for artists, designers, educators, beginners, and anyone else! p5.js is free and open-source because we believe software, and the tools to learn it, should be accessible to everyone.
Open Processing.org allows you to create dynamic open source projects in which ever way you choose. It has a editor that allows you to have easy access to getting started. The Open Processing editor gives you access to all the p5.js libraries that you may want to choose to embed into how your project functions.
