About Processing / Generative关于 Processing / Generative
Processing is the visual language of code-as-medium — the open-source generative tradition Casey Reas and Ben Fry built from MIT Media Lab's Aesthetics & Computation Group. The artwork IS the .pde file; the algorithm IS the brush.
The aesthetic lives on jet-black screens with single-pixel emission lines, Perlin flowfields, particle swarms, and recursive subdivision rendered in saturated cyan, magenta, or lime. Monospace code annotations and precise coordinates frame the work.
Processing 是 Casey Reas 与 Ben Fry 于 2001 年在麻省理工学院媒体实验室创立的 开源创意编程语言，也是生成艺术的视觉母语。在这里，作品即是一份可运行的 .pde 源文件——算法就是画笔，代码就是作品本身。
视觉上，它永远生长在 #0A0A0A 的黑色画布上：单像素发光的细线、柏林噪声流场、 粒子群、递归分形，以及一抹饱和的青、品红或荧光绿，像 CRT 屏幕般加法叠色地 辉映出来。等宽字体的代码注释与坐标数值，贴着画面边缘，提示着一切形式皆源于 数学与计算。
