Creative Coding for Humor Design: A Preliminary Exploration

Both humor and art aims are creative and complex processes, and both aim to induce an emotional effect (mirth in the former case, aesthetic pleasure in the latter one). In recent years a number of programming languages and computational environment for creative coding have been diffused and have attracted a growing community of artists and enthusiasts. This contribution is a small collection of observations emerged during an explorative study of these environments, performed during the last months. It is aimed to search new ideas and methodological directions for the future development of research in computational humor generation.Non peer reviewe
