Genuary 2025
Genuary is an annual community event in which
generative artists and creative coders worldwide create one piece of code art
per day throughout January, each responding to a daily prompt. Any language,
framework or medium is welcome — the prompts are starting points, not rules.
Work is shared publicly using hashtags such as #genuary and #genuary2025.
