How difficult is it to develop custom design software? Since p5.js is out, it became way more easy, and there are a few individuals out there showing and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. I’d argue that Kiel Danger Mutschelknaus is the most famous of them. He experiments with custom design tools since many years and has worked for some the most reknowned companies in the world. With his ever growing experimental tool design playground, the “Space Type Generator”, Kiel even made his knowledge partially public. I am thrilled to share this conversation with you, in which we discussed his work and his perspective onto tools and Creative Coding.
