Neat! I'm currently interested in the formal systems that chug away behind my art. Lots of it evolves out of mistakes and bumbles, but they would be nice to codify into shape grammars and such for a computer.

I'm sure there is still much to be explored on the interactive front though.

I guess there is a question though, can a formal understanding be useful from the start, or is it important to experiment to find novel things, then shore things up after the fact? 🤷♂️
Useful? Yes. Critical? No. How many kids have you met who say, "I love math"? Start first with the wonder & creativity & empowerment. I was hooked the first time I plotted pixels on a green CRT in the '80s to make games — not by the vector math I didn't know I was learning.

I'm talking now more as a practicioner, not a learner.
