- Lingdong Huang (BCSA 2019): Fishdraw, Shan, Shui (& photos)
- Robert Hodgin, Meander generative map (including his signature), 2020
- Lia, Filament Sculptures, 2013
- Algorat Collective (Connie Ye, Char Stiles, Tatyana Mustakos, Caroline Hermans, all from CMU School of Art), Ratmaker (2018)
- Leah Buechley, Lasercut Curtain, 2017
Another defining characteristic of work that we can make with code is that it can be interactive: it can respond in a unique and open-ended way to its visitor/participant/observer.
