Frederik Vanhoutte is a medical radiation physicist with a PhD in experimental solid state physics. When rain hits the windscreen, he sees tracks of alpha particles trace in cells. When he pulls the plug in the bath tub, he stays to watch the little whirlpool. When he sits at the kitchen table, he plays with the glasses to see the caustics. At a candlelight dinner, he stares into the flame. Sometimes at night, he finds himself in front of the computer. When he finally blinks, a mess of code is drawing random structures on the screen. He spends the rest of the night staring.
Working with Processing since 2004, creative coding fuels his curiosity of physical, biological, and computational systems. He shares his constructs on his website wblut.com. Recently, his hemesh Processing library has been gaining a small following for the creation and manipulation of 3D meshes.
