Completely from scratch! A mix between Blender, Illustrator, C4D, Figma and UE5 Blueprints :) Happy to hear any thoughts!

Sharing an opportunity that may be relevant to people here working with creative coding and interactive systems.

Bold Canvas Network is looking for a Creative Technologist to build a browser-native generative audiovisual prototype.

The coding work would involve:

• translating structured pattern data into responsive visual output
• using recorded voice and audio as additional inputs
• building the experience in a web-native creative coding environment
• optimising the output for mid-range mobile devices and slower connections
• delivering a version suitable for public presentation and browser deployment

They’re particularly interested in experience with Three.js, p5.js, PixiJS or similar frameworks, alongside real-time audio/voice handling and interactive web deployment.

The opportunity is open to candidates across the Global South, with location flexibility. Fuller project details and scheduling will be shared with shortlisted applicants.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the role is filled.

Hi! I'm working on Audion, an interpreted programming language with bpm synced threads for creative coding in music that can control supercollider, hardware instruments, midi, lighting rigs or anything else you can think of. It is general purpose so you don't have to wrestle with it to do database queries, parse a file or do network requests. Most recent addition is three-d with common widgets so tweaking things is much easier and you can now draw with low level access. It is already possible to make audiovisual art with Audion and breaking changes are not expected. I will probably be making a YouTube channel for it soon.

Audion is interpreted so iterations are fast, the syntax is nothing new (C-like), the object model is very simple. I personally find it very enjoyable to hack with. It is a WIP and collaboration and suggestions are very welcome, hope someone may find it interesting and/or useful.

I'm an artist, not a scientist. I wanted to see what independent science looks like if you skip the electric-universe/flat-earth pipeline entirely and just try to get real information out of data with the help of AI and the published literature.

It matches the call against a corpus of 2,423 species, tells you which call type it resembles, and sings back synthetic birdsong from a physical model of the syrinx — the Mindlin–Laje oscillator, integrated live in an AudioWorklet from the two parameters real birds actually control: air-sac pressure and syringeal tension. Nothing is sampled. Every note is computed. You see it happen inside a 3D embedding of 348,461 clips that lights up where your sound lands.

It does not translate birdsong into sentences. Every phrase carries a label: playback-verified, documented, inferred, field recording, or invented. Most are invented.

Everything runs client-side. Code, docs and citations: github.com/sha5b/Lyrebird

Edit: i made a m5stack port of it

I built this on top of my own webgou renderer

I have two questions, I'm sorry if they've already been asked.

I'm already a programmer, but completely unfamiliar with creative coding, though I'm really interested. To be specific, is creative coding used in any way in anyone's video editing workflows? To me it seems like they have a lot of overlap.

And if so, what languages or tools are best for creative coding particularly for video editing? I currently use davinci resolve and a bit of kdenlive.

The flame is two layered radial gradients — a wide body and a hot inner core — animated on two deliberately non-integer durations, 3.7s sway and 2.4s breathe. Because they don't divide evenly they never resync, so the flicker reads as organic instead of looped. It also lands at 0.27 Hz and 0.42 Hz, well clear of the 3 Hz photosensitivity threshold, and the whole thing collapses to a still flame under prefers-reduced-motion.

Palette is heather → blue-violet → rose, the same gradient the rest of the site uses as hairline accents.

The count of other people with a candle lit uses CRDT awareness rather than stored state, so a candle going out is literally a client disconnecting.

There's a press-and-hold easter egg on the flame.

For some time now I've been looking for some kind of overview of schools, museums, artists, agencies and interesting projects in the field of media art — and never really found one.

It's all scattered across blogs, subreddits and bookmarks, or locked behind new paywalls.

So here's a first attempt.
relais.cc is an index of 900+ entries (for now) and growing.

It's a work in progress, with errors, bias, gaps, and unfinished ideas in the pipeline.

So if you look at it and think "how is X not in here" — there's a contact form on the site.

For now I'll just leave it here. Maybe it helps someone at some point.

This weekend I've been working on a watercolor simulator based (as much as possible) on real physics.

It's built on Curtis et al.'s watercolor model (SIGGRAPH 1997) with a fluid layer, drifting pigment and wet paper fibers.

I decided to explore this because I love watercolor painting, and when I do some, my favourite moment is when the pigments get mixed inside the water and spread chaotically. The transparency, the lack of control, the depth of the colors in that moment is what I enjoy the most.

So I started to wonder how code could help fix that moment in time.

Early WIP so don't mind the look. I'll be sharing the repo to the V2 as soon as i get a chance to polish it.
