# Algorithmic Art — Generative Art with p5.js ## Why this skill exists Users asking for "generative art" or "algorithmic art" need more than a random blob of colored circles. Naive approaches produce visually uninteresting output: flat noise fields with no hierarchy, particle systems with no purpose, or static images dressed up as "generative." This skill enforces a two-phase creative process — philosophy first, code second — so the algorithm has intentional aesthetic direction. The output is a self-contained, interactive HTML artifact with seed navigation and tunable parameters, not a screenshot or a code snippet that requires external tooling to run. --- ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Algorithmic Philosophy (the soul) Before writing any code, create a named generative aesthetic movement in 3–5 focused paragraphs. This is not a description of what will be drawn — it is the computational worldview that will drive every parameter decision. **Name the movement** (1–2 words): e.g., "Organic Turbulence", "Quantum Harmonics", "Stochastic Crystallization" **Articulate the philosophy around these computational axes:** - What mathematical forces drive the system? (noise, harmonics, recursion, field dynamics) - What is the relationship between order and randomness? - What makes each seed unique yet recognizable as the same system? - Where does beauty live — in single frames, in motion, or in accumulated traces? **Philosophy examples (condensed — expand to 3–5 paragraphs):** | Move
