What happens when you give someone just 15 minutes to turn a creative idea into a web artwork — without planning, rules, or polish? Can you, without prior knowledge of coding create something meaningful in a short amount of time?
That’s exactly what my prototype is trying to explore.
The Idea
In this prototype, participants are invited to sit down, open Processing, and bring a web-based art idea to life. They have only 15 minutes — no tutorials, no perfection. I want to bring people from different experience levels to this session to compare the results.
How It Works
- A person joins the session.
They bring an idea for a small digital artwork — something they want to try or express. - They have 15 minutes.
In that time, they generate code for Processing using AI Tools like ChatGPT or DeepSeek to make their idea real. It doesn’t have to be finished or perfect — it just has to feel right. - The results are saved.
Each step or version they create is collected, so we can see how their idea grows or changes during the session. - A short interview follows.
After the session, I ask a few quick questions:- How did it go?
- Did the result match what you imagined?
- What surprised you?
What I Want to Learn
This project is about more than just quick and dirty artworks. I want to understand:
- How people think creatively under time pressure
- What kinds of ideas can appear in a short vibecoding session
- If the vibecoding session finishes with a product that matches the expectations of the participants
