Algorithmic Art

Overview

Create generative art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive exploration. Beauty emerges from algorithmic execution rather than static composition.

When to Use

  • Creating generative art with reproducible randomness
  • Building interactive visual explorations
  • Implementing particle systems and flow fields
  • Designing parametric compositions
  • Procedural pattern generation
  • Art that rewards exploration through seed navigation

Quick Start

  1. Write algorithmic philosophy (how art emerges from code)
  2. Set up p5.js template with seed controls
  3. Implement core algorithm (noise, particles, recursion)
  4. Add parameter controls for exploration
  5. Enable seed navigation for reproducibility
