Find a further book or article relevant to your topic and post a short synopsis (at least 200 words) on your blog about it.
Having now decided my topic for the essay and practice based research, I have used the library search looking for books about creative coding and I have found some really interesting books like for example “Code as Creative Medium: A Handbook for Computational Art and Design” by Golan Levin and Tega Brain. This book explains very well the main concepts of Creative Coding and also briefly talks about the history of the field; the whole book is filled with interviews and notes of renowned artists and coders from where I’m getting some references too. Once again the whole publication seems more focused on the visual aspect although it features some chapters about sound too; so far I’m learning that Creative Coding is highly oriented on audiovisual experiences but on my research I’ll try to focus on the sonics aspects of it. As far as I can see at the moment, Creative Coding is full of algorithmic formulas, bringing this practice close to the mathematics, or what is also called Computational art. This relation science/art is really interesting and makes a parallelism with architecture, engineering and biology. I’ve also found an interesting concept here, which is explained at a chapter; the “Synesthectic Instrument”, an instrument that creates visuals and sounds at the same time, and I think that programming languages are tools that allow us to achieve this task very well.
