Code, in the right hands, is not just a tool for building. It is a medium for asking questions. Across four projects developed in p5.js, I used creative coding to explore what happens when you hand a viewer agency over an artwork, a dataset, or a space.

The first experiment was about the body in motion. Dance Party is an audio visualizer that translates sound into a cityscape: a blue waveform rises and falls against a dark ground, its peaks tracing the silhouette of a skyline. Among the lines of falling guests, a white dot moves through the crowd on loop. It is me, doing the only steps I know, over and over, in a room full of people. The sketch began as a technical exercise in audio visualization and became something more personal.

The second was about the body under pressure. Target Tack is a particle simulation game where blocks multiply across the screen and the only way to stop them is to click each one in time. Every click freezes a block in place and draws a line from the mouse to where it stopped. If you manage to catch them all, you are left with a web of lines: a record of the chase. The piece was conceived as a metaphor for managing a to-do list, but what it actually produces is a portrait of controlled chaos.
