PSA: I have updated the p5js+MediaPipe tracking demo for late 2026— this repairs several breaking changes by vendors (ahem). It now uses p5 v2.3.2 and MediaPipe v.1.0.0. Ready for your students! openprocessing.org/@golan/2760298 editor.p5js.org/golan/sketch... cc @openprocessing.bsky.social

Hypertype is an art project that challenges a particular field in AI called affective computing and is meant to show out for what it is: A lot of hype.

Honored to be prominently discussed in this #esolang podcast which raises some of the most critical questions in the space and covers a LOT of material in its nearly two hours

Read along as dani spinosa and i chat about concrete and visual poetry in Canada: periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2025/08/dani... (and thanks @robmclennan.bsky.social for publishing this on Periodicities and for consistently creating space and being generous)

I'm currently looking for interesting open-source projects. Mostly creative coding but I'm open to all suggestions. Please share your suggestions.

Yeah! J'ai Hyper & Cosmic, sur le boulot de @markwebster01.bsky.social chez @vetroeditions.bsky.social (la référence en graphisme génératif). Et petit plaisir plus personnel, j'y signe un texte.

We present a simplified, p5.js version of the vocal tract synthesizer from Neil Thapen's popular Pink Trombone, adapted for use in a creative coding assignment concerned with interaction design and absurd puppeteering.

For some super arcane deep cuts, I've ported JT Nimoy's "Textension" vector font (1999) and Douglas Hofstadter's "Letter Spirit" gridfonts (c.1987-1996) to p5.js, now available in my archive of p5-single-line-font-resources: github.com/golanlevin/p...
