In a recent question I was introduced to the work of André Michelle, which blew me away. What other great people or works do you know in the fields of art and music? As someone with a love for math/programming and art/music I'd love to know more about people using sophisticated (or not so sophisticated) techniques to produce creative things. The software used can be anything from Max/MSP, Flash to simple C code or Assembler. Pointers to forums, blogs, newsletters and similar are very appreciated as well.

The processing "language" (by Ben Fry and Casey Reas) and electric sheep (the work of Scott Draves) are both well known examples.

I should also mention the port of processing to the HTML canvas by John Resig:

The "Demo scene" has a whole bunch of very creative procedural visual effects and music (link: http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?order=views ). The goal of a "demo" is to provide the most visual effects within a specific file size ( i.e. 1kb ).

Erik Natzke comes to mind when you say "math/programming and art" http://jot.eriknatzke.com/

One of the most breath-taking projects I have ever seen are the ones using Arduino. The limit is nothing but your imagination!

Am I allowed to nominate myself?

I think what I do is cool, and what my buddy Joshue Ott does is perhaps cooler.

If you haven't already, I recommend reading Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter. It beautifully interweaves programming, maths and AI with art, music and poetry in a wonderfully fun and interesting way.

One good thing to search for turned out to be Generative Art. For instance this Blog (with videos). http://www.generatorx.no/category/generative-art/
