Description

Casey Reas is an American artist, educator, and co-creator of the Processing programming environment (with Ben Fry). Reas explores computational systems, generative drawing, and the historical intersections between conceptual art (particularly Sol LeWitt) and algorithmic software. His work investigates how natural language instructions, emergent agent behaviors, and software structures serve as autonomous artistic media.
