Processing Foundation Fellowship Program - Deadline is May 2
The Processing Foundation is thrilled to announce the open call for our 2024 Fellowship Program, themed ‘Sustaining Community: Expansion & Access.’ This year, we seek to support innovative projects from artists, designers, activists, educators, engineers, researchers, coders, collectives, and many more, who are working at the intersection of creative technology, art, and open-source software.
$10,000 stipend, dedicated mentorship, skill-building workshops, public programs, and community engagement opportunities.
There’s a neat new core library in CircuitPython: bitmapfilter. Originally designed for the PyCamera project, it’s got many useful operations for generative art stuff like I do in Processing/p5js. Here’s a start: random circles bluring away. note, it does require a fast processor like the ESP32-S3 as on this great Lilygo board.

Thanks @stylus for your work on this library! #CircuitPython#Processing#p5js#GenerativeArt#Lilygo
I don't usually like to post anything this WIP and these are only part of the final design I have in mind, but I'm really finding the sort of painterly effects I'm getting fairly charming here.
For last week's #WCCChallenge topic of Swiss Design, I made a promo poster for...me. It came together pretty fast. To get the transformations worked out faster I added some mouse interaction, and it turned out cool enough that I left it in. Even though all lowercase is more of a hallmark of Swiss Style graphic design, uppercase worked better for this design.
I like how many configurations I can get out of such a simple system. I wonder why more graphic designers don't use #p5js or some other creative coding platform? Or maybe they do and I'm just not aware of it. I really like John Maeda's typography based designs. He must have inspired some others out there.
