Bridging the gap between programming and physical production of printed matter, or more simply digital with analog, Generative Books explores producing books with the aid of programming methodologies. Software, although malleable, is not immediately thought of as living outside of a computer screen. However, the methodology of programming is often already present in art and design books such as iteration. As an example, catalogues and books that focus on collection are iterative in their structure and content. Additionally, coding is often siloed in introductory classes to develop practical skills. This class encourages using programming tools in addition to more commonly used tools within design to aid in the production of printed matter.
