Trying to access whether Wolfram products can be used to make professional level art

I’m interested in Wolfram because I want to use Neural Nets and ML for creative purposes and from what I can see its probably the most powerful tool out there (conceptually at least) but this isn’t useful if I can’t make art with it. While there are examples that show the power of Wolfram language, as a professional artist I want to know how I might use this potential in a practical way. Can I use a Wolfram product to make sound installations like I do with Max MSP for example. Can I generate high res images for data projection? Can the audio work in real-time and integrate with a Mac audio system? What is the quality of the FFT conversions, audio compression and audio filtering etc etc. Can I use Wolfram products to communicate with a DAW for example using the audio manager or a system like Jack I/O? I don’t necessarily expect specific answers to these questions - I’m wanting to assess how useful Wolfram stuff is generally speaking.

Are there other artists out there wanting to use Wolfram products in a serious way and not just the “lets have fun with audio” kind of way - ditto for images and video?

So comments suggestions, examples of work would be great. Thanks

What did your explorations teach you? Are you using it for anything other than audio?

given yours is the only response in two years I think we can see that Wolfram stuff isnt that useful for artists. The problem with a fixed or isolated environment like what the Wolfram system appears to be is that you cant work with exisiting technology that does audio and other signal processing at a professional level nor can you bring in other highly development tools and platforms into a production process.
