Processing is a way for people to work together to create codes that are creative. Your code becomes a sketchbook. Sketchbooks in this case can also become something more fleshed out and are simply lines of code that create imagery. Birds flying together in the video made me want to try to remake the same motion. That ted talk about contemporary math was an interesting touch. Basically everything in the world is a process that has a code. Even ocean waves have a code/process.
Although this video was a bit slow, I did find it interesting. There was also the point where they admitted that lines of codes didn’t look human, which is why people have there own way to format their lines. Processing is different than science because it is trying to create something that’s clearly outside of reality. Science is meant to recreate things from reality. Overall, I found that vimeo needs a playback speed option as some videos need to go at at least 1.5x speed.
