I'm a visual artist and I want to learn a programming language to create interactive media for my art installations. Which language should I learn and why?

As a virsual artist Python is a good language to start with. It is used in many creative tools like the 3D software Blender, the painting program Gimp or as the base of some of the most AI generated images systems like Stable Diffusion. 
Its syntax is not too difficult but you will still need some time if you have no previous knowledge in programming. 
Please keep in mind that other tools might prefer other languages. Unity for example relies heavily on Microsofts C#.
