2.2. Process VS Timeline

If we look at the software that designers use, we can see that most of them use a format in which there is a timeline and the final result is conceived as a movie. Processing, as its name suggests, is based on process definition, a very different perspective focused on the process of creation, not necessary on the final result. In fact, computers are machines that process and combine low level symbols to create high level representations.

This idea is related to the fact that Processing gives the artists complete freedom to do exactly what they imagine. Something that doesn't occur with tools based on countless presets where usually you don't have pixel level precision.
