What is creative coding?

Creative coding uses software, code and computational processes to be expressive or to create art forms. While creative coding is generally thought of as more aesthetic than functional, it is becoming increasingly commonplace in advertising, branding and the wider design industry. While never the first thing to come to mind when discussing art, creative coding is revolutionizing what art is and can be. As we enter a more digital world, creative coding may be the contemporary art movement we need in order to articulate major societal challenges we are facing as technology advances.
