If you are a visual artist who has wanted to discover what coding might bring to your work, this is the ideal place to start. The workshop has been developed for beginners and will give you a grounding in some of the basics.
... Programming is not just confined to the realms of IT professionals, and can be used for far more than making apps or websites. Many artists and designers use software in their process, and in some cases write or commision custom software to help them realise their creative vision. By learning to engage the computer more directly through code, you will have the possibility to create new tools and modes of expression.
In this workshop we’ll go through the basic building blocks of coding in the context of the visual arts, without assuming any prior knowledge. We’ll be using p5.js, a language that can easily be used to create geometric shapes and animations.
Your tutor will be computer programmer Ibby EL-Serafy.
Tickets are £12 available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-introdu ction-to-creative-…
In the weeks after this workshop we will be running free Wednesday afternoon drop-in sessions at Access Space for those wishing to expand thier knowledge and develop thier ideas. Watch out for details soon at http://www.facebook.com/accessspace.

We are lucky to have a lot of livecoded noise going on at access space. However, I'll be saving this particular recording of this set from Malitzin Cortes aka CNDSD + Ivan Abreu (MX) for when I'm trawling through the spam in our office inbox. Eulerroom x Algorave #livecoding #algorave
