Online platforms

You can publish your work on online platforms that are specifically designed for creative coding projects, such as OpenProcessing, CodePen, or Glitch. These platforms provide a community of artists and developers who can give feedback on your work, and allow you to share your projects with a wider audience.

Now let’s give some details these platforms:

1. OpenProcessing

OpenProcessing is an online platform for sharing and discovering creative coding projects, primarily made with Processing and p5.js. Users can create a profile, upload their projects, and explore the work of other artists and designers. The platform also includes a built-in code editor and a comment system for feedback and discussion.

2. CodePen

CodePen is an online community for front-end developers and designers, where users can showcase their work and get feedback from others in the field. While CodePen is not specifically focused on creative coding, it is a great platform for sharing interactive web-based projects, and it includes a wide range of tools and frameworks for web development.

3. Glitch

Glitch is a platform for creating and sharing web-based projects, including creative coding projects made with tools like p5.js and Three.js. The platform includes a built-in code editor, a live preview of your project, and a community of developers who can give feedback and collaborate on projects.

4. GitHub

GitHub is a code-hosting platform that can be used to publish and share creative coding projects. While GitHub is primarily used for software development, it can also be a useful platform for sharing open-source code and collaborating with other developers.

These are just a few examples of the many online platforms available for sharing and publishing creative coding projects. Each platform has its own community and set of tools, so it’s worth exploring a few options to see which one is the best fit for your needs.

Gallery exhibitions

You can also exhibit your work in galleries or museums that showcase digital art or interactive installations. Many galleries and museums have a dedicated digital or new media art program that may be interested in showing your work. Read more on our article.

Festivals and conferences

Creative coding festivals and conferences, such as the annual Eyeo Festival or the Resonate festival, are a great way to showcase your work and connect with others in the field. These events often include exhibitions, talks, workshops, and other opportunities to share your work and learn from others. Read more on our article.

Public installations

You can also create public installations using creative coding, such as interactive projections or sculptures that respond to their environment. These installations can be a great way to engage with the public and create unique experiences in public spaces. Read more on our article.

Overall, the best way to exhibit and publish your creative coding projects depends on your goals and the nature of your work. Whether you want to reach a wider audience, get feedback from other artists and developers, or create unique experiences in public spaces, there are many options available to you.
