Mood board to audio-reactive code art — parametric design system for agents
50k ft — Why care?
This follow-up adds audio reactivity to the mood-board-to-code-art workflow. A well-defined design system lets AI agents generate generative visuals with parametric controls, including how audio drives the visuals. You end up with macros you can art-direct for live visuals.
10k ft — Key takeaways
• A tight design system makes agent output repeatable and tunable.
• Break a mood board into a written design system the agent can follow.
• Expose parameters as art-direction controls, including audio-to-visual mappings.

Mood board to code art to live visuals
I showed you in some of my last videos, the power of creating a really well defined design system for use with AI agents to assist in creative direction.
A lot of people hit me up asking if it would be possible to make the code examples audio reactive and so I did just that and I had a great time creating a parametric system that helps me art direct the audio reactivity as well.

Transcript excerpt
Okay, this is getting super crazy. So I show you how to take a mood board, break it into pieces, and then create your own code art That's inspired by the mood board, right? And then a lot of people ask, can you make it audio reactive? Well, guess what? Now, this is super cool before a lot of reasons obviously, but one of my favorite things in the world is to create parametric systems and design and to be able to art direct my stuff So you basically have like infinite macros that you can create to control and art direct things the way that you want You know because this is all but also broken down so succinctly in the design system is so, you know, well spelled out the age of time and easy time Promoting and creating parameters that I want to communicate for controls and that includes like the way that the audio interacts with things, right?
