Why Use Code to Make Art?

Code is special because it can:

  • Respond to people - Art can change based on how you move or what you do
  • Never stop changing - Digital art can keep evolving and growing
  • Combine old and new - Artists can mix traditional techniques with computer power
  • Tell interactive stories - You can be part of the artwork, not just look at it
  • Preserve culture - Old traditions can be saved and shared in new ways
