make generative art online, no coding needed

you don't need to write code to make generative art. gaogao runs in your browser, free, and instead of programming a system you shape one by hand: grow a piece, keep the ones you love, and breed them into new ones.

how it works, in four steps

growpress new and a whole organism appears, grown from a genome. no two are ever the same.
keepfound one you love? keep it. it's saved and becomes a link that's yours.
breedcross two you've kept; the offspring inherit a mix of both parents' genes.
watch it formreplay any piece building itself, gene by gene, from nothing to finished.

why no code?

most generative art is made by programming: you write the rules, run them, and tune parameters. gaogao hides the code and gives you genetics instead. you explore by choosing and breeding, so anyone can make real, unique generative art without touching a line of code. curious about the idea itself? read generative art you can breed, or how it differs from ai art.
