As an innovative, easily understood programming language, “Processing” enables students, artists, designers and architects to design and produce virtual prototypes. The program can be utilized as both a sort of virtual sketchbook as well as a professional graphics program.

“Processing” is an open project that was initiated by Casey Reas and Benjamin Fry. The program was developed jointly by a large group of artists working together on a voluntary basis, and is still constantly being revised and updated. This open-source software opens up completely new possibilities of doing artistic work on the computer.
