# ActionScript Art Generative Masterpieces from Code By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-10-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actionscript-art-code References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2008/10/19/art-from-code-turning-computer-codes-into-visual-art/) & [artfromcode](http://www.artfromcode.com) You don't have to be a computer geek to appreciate the trippy art Keith Peters makes with ActionScript 3.0 code. To the untrained eye, it's a blend of an iTunes visualizer and a stereogram. For codeheads, however, these pieces should be even more appealing. Peters refers to his work as "[generative art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennessy-and-florian-zumbrunn)," a genre that [Wikipedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-ai) defines as art composed or constructed with computer algorithms or similarly mechanic means.
