+
+What is code?
+
+Code is our way of communicating with computers.
+It's an intermediary language between what we understand--words, letters, and numbers--and what computers understand--electrical signals that can either be off or on.
+
+Code is used in an almost infinite number of applications.
+It's used in the operating systems and applications in our TVs, phones, computers, tablets, and smart appliances.
+The bluetooth technology in our speakers and headphones is code.
+Wi-Fi and internet were built with code.
+Every website we visit is built with code.
+This blog is built with code.
+Video games, video game consoles, cameras, watches, medical equipment; they're all created with code.
+
+Code is used in so many amazing ways, and sometimes, it can also be used to make art.
+
+On X, [Jordan Lyall](https://x.com/JordanLyall/status/1876778588168487397) said, "There’s something profoundly human about art generated through code."
+
+I agree completely.
+We took a machine that was built only to process electrical signals to perform calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication).
+As it evolved, we engineered more and more ways to create with it, to pull beautiful forms and sounds from it when it wasn’t designed for us to do so.
+It’s absolutely amazing.
+
+The history of making art with computers is inextricably tied to the history of computers themselves.
+Amazing leaps and bounds in computer development have been made in efforts to make art more beautiful, more entertaining, more realistic, easier to distribute, easier to process.
+
+It's incredible.
+
+So, how do we do it?
