Hey creative technologists. I'm doing some early research, but I want to know if there are artists who use (or used) Processing (the Java version with a PDE) who aren't white men. Pointers would be really helpful

i had been set on shaders but after @softmoon.world's brooklyn web workers talk i think i might have to go study tools.....

i think there is always benefit in understanding how your paints work, but i meet so many people who just end up going one way or another. tool building is such a deep practice on its own, it's way too hard to do both. best to know which lane you want to be in for whatever period of time

Linux is awesome, I run gentoo, I have fun on linux. But sometimes I just want to be able to focus on recording and editing without having to think about the computer. or without having to buy a bunch of hardware dedicated to obtuse workflows (which is also a fun thing)

I love coding. I also love dragging and dropping!

Moon @softmoon.world · 03/08/2026
I'm kind of...ready to let go of "linux" as some sort of artist statement. I want to make way more room for creative expression in the sound arts. I've abandoned myself for too long. My identity is not the computer.

I love this post on building an (almost) daily practice making shaders.

Today I added bevy_seedling to main for libprocessing. still have to make an API and use it. but in order to get here: - I had to rebase our fork bevy fork on to v0.19 of bevy - i had to put up a couple minor PRs in nannou's bevy_rewrite (ty to @charlotte.fyi for reviews) - and some third thing

Organize or perish. More than adapting to distracted students or AI, disabusing ourselves of the notion that tenure will save us is the most important change we can help each other make. Tenure won’t get you formal recognition or a seat at the table & is the ultimate enticement of inaction
