This document discusses Winnie Soon's reasons and motivations for coding, programming, and creating computational artworks. It lists some of her past projects and provides links to view them. The document then lists three key reasons for computational activities: 1) to think with and understand computation as part of culture, 2) programming enables discovery of a project's ultimate direction, and 3) creative activities can also be methods of inquiry. It further explains that through coding, one can see things in new ways beyond surface representation. Coding provides another interpretive language and helps guide research direction and apply theories while constructing artworks.
