Hello World! Processing

I found this video fascinating for many reasons. Coding is just a digital sketch book where you can put your ideas quickly on the “page”. Rather than just sketching it on pieces of paper, your sketches can become something like said in the film such as a movie or a sculpture. While listing to all the interviews during this film they all had some similar things to say about coding. They all had interest on what you can create with coding and not just sketching on regular paper. Another thing I found fascinating was all the work that was created through code that they gave as an example. My favorite example was the Flocking Tutorial by Robert Hodgin (2010). It was almost a simulation of a flock of birds and their flight path. I have always thought it was strange how birds fly in groups. Now looking at the Hodgins work it gave me an idea of what path a bird might take in a flock. Towards the end of the video, they showed us how to incorporate sound with a common song called Daisy Bell. Which was the first singing computer. It was an interesting process to get to the end product. It makes me realize how far we have came in technology.
