原文摘要

Artist-led open-source libraries such as Processing or openFrameworks have had a major impact on artists and designers who use code as a creative medium. In this work, we conduct the first large-scale empirical study of public code repositories that use these libraries. Our study dives into 1,613,571 code repositories collected from the Software Heritage archive. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, we investigate the diversity of practices and practitioners in terms of code hosting, geographical distribution, characteristics of code-based creative works and the purposes of these works. Key findings include evidence of the worldwide presence of generative art and creative coding, as well as the adoption of these practices in both education and across creative industries. We illustrate these findings with concrete examples of repositories and contributor profiles around the globe, spanning the spectrum from university curricula to contemporary art. These results lay the groundwork for educators, researchers, and artists who investigate code and creative practices to foster sustained diversity in the construction of our digital world.
