I saw the post earlier about making maps using Python. I thought that was a really cool concept as I love seeing open art projects like that. Do you know any other projects that allow you to make art with code?

Ah, the real generative art, before 'AI generative "art"'

You should look into shader art. Basically "drawing" using code that runs purely inside GPU. Which reminds me I recently found an artist that does this with code that fit within Twitter character limit. Sadly I can not remember the name rn.

Edit: the artist I was thinking of is XorDev

Any recommendations on what languages/libraries to use for that?
