What happens when we open up our sketches to the parallel power of the GPU?

In this tutorial, explores p5.strands––a new beginner-friendly way of writing shaders in p5.js v2. He demonstrates how to shift the heavy lifting of your sketches from the CPU to the GPU, rendering thousands of objects simultaneously and smoothly.

📣 p5.js 2.0 Artist Series Drop #2: Featuring Tamara Moura Costa

Tamara is a generative artist based in Buenos Aires who works primarily with computational processes, exploring visuals, code, and electronics. From live performances to physical installations, her practice is consistently guided by a sense of curiosity, play, and nature.

In this release, ‘Transiciones Latentes’, Tamara explores the delicate balance between structure and spontaneity. What began as a playful sketch of tiny flowers evolved into a sophisticated exploration of tonal relationships, rhythmic textures, and the dialogue between different directions and shapes.

In her tutorial, Tamara breaks down the core building blocks of generative systems in p5.js 2.0+. She demonstrates the fundamental differences between random vs. noise, the logic behind coordinate transformations, and how to utilize the new color spaces available in the latest version of p5.js.

Alongside the tutorial, she releases her project on Bootloader, inviting collectors to explore a playful, ever-evolving atmosphere where formal structure meets unpredictable generative outcomes.

The Network Gong Ensemble Archive by elekhlekha explores how sound can carry cultural memory across borders.

Developed through the Processing Foundation Fellowship, this project documents Southeast Asian gong traditions through oral histories encapsulated in interactive p5.js sketches. Musicians from the Phillipines, Myanmar, and Thailand contribute recordings of similar instruments across different cultural contexts, revealing the deep connections that exist across these musical lineages.

Rather than treating archives as static collections, the project invites visitors to engage with the materials as a living ensemble. It is meant to be played and shared.
