Description
In this block workshop we will playfully approach text-based programming in a creative coding manner. We start with an introduction into Processing (a beginner-friendly ((and open source yay! 🎉 )) programming environment developed for artists and designers).
The main aspect of this workshop will be learning together how to generate text-based code from scratch, focused on using NI-enabled (natural intelligence) brain-powered programming functionalities ;)
Apart from basic idea of code, we want to have some fun with image disruption with you, on how to glitch aka inject, distort, manipulate, fail, analyze, destroy, reorder, mutate [... etc ...] digital pixel-based images.
While it is of course an advantage if you have some programming knowledge, we are offering this super beginner-friendly workshop with little or no prior coding experience.
Schedule
The block workshop will run from:
MON 2026-02-16 -- FRI 2026-02-20
