This was created by Casey Reas, who also is one of the original creators of the programming language & IDE called Processing (https://processing.org/).

I'm not sure how well known Processing is within the HN community, but in the media arts and education space, Processing is pretty famous.

I met Casey at a festival once and he was a remarkably kind and interested person. I think his playful approach to technology shines through in projects like the sketch machine.

Probably relatively well known due to its usage in some Arduino projects.


The Arduino IDE was originally based on the Processing IDE, so that's the main connection there.

I rarely, if ever, see a Processing/Arduino project. I do a lot with Arduinos, including interactive art, but maybe I'm hanging with the wrong crowd.
