"NodeBox" is a free open-source application running on Mac OS X that lets you create 2D visuals (static, animated or interactive) using Python programming code and export them as a PDF or a QuickTime movie. NodeBox was developed as the core engine in a research project of the Sint Lucas Experimental Media Research Group (EMRG).

Our goal was to create innovative software that would allow artists, programmers and graphic designers to express greater creativity (using language constructs instead of clicking buttons) and to automate repetitive tasks in graphic workflows. In later stages NodeBox served as a testing ground for Artificial Creativity. NodeBox is used worlwide by students, teachers, professionals, scientists and hobbyist. We draw an audience of approximately 2000 people a month.

Research on NodeBox was closed in 2007. The Experimental Media Research Group is now working on "Gravital", a spin-off project in collaboration with the department of Computer Linguistics at the University of Antwerp.
