Expressive coding extravaganza: making art with code by Half Scheidl 

Generative art leverages computing power to produce elegant artwork, by skillfully controlling the location and magnitude of randomness in color, shape and position. Contemporary artists are more than ever using such principles in their creative workflow, to produce image, video and sound. This talk will give you an overview of the possibilities of using code in an expressive way, and inspire you to start drawing with Python.
