Chaining is an online collaboration platform that aims to connect art and digital technology through creative coding. While computer programmes are generally adopted to solve a specific problem, creative coding turns coding into a creative medium. It is an interdisciplinary approach to art and science.

In this project, we explored the possibility of employing creative coding as a bridge to connect designers and programmers. While designers have a strong sense of aesthetics, creativity, and design thinking, programmers are proficient in logical, mathematical, and computational thinking. We envision Chaining as a platform connecting these two types of people and training their creativity and computational thinking.

The platform's home page is a multiverse view, showcasing novel works created by users. Users can click on any node they are interested in and learn from its source code. Users can also fork from any node and create a new piece of digital art with creative coding. This design allows them to develop diverse ideas from a single origin in the same multiverse.

The fusion of art and tech is highly valued recently. However, many designers found it hard to master computing skills.
