Learn the basics of coding using the Processing programming language in a fun-filled, hands-on workshop. Topics covered include basic creative coding theory, Processing what is it?, algorithmic art, computer-generated animation, simple imaging and interactivity. Leading creative coding practitioners and examples of their work will also be discussed. No prior programming or art making experience required. Ira Greenberg is Director of the Center of Creative Computation and Associate Professor at SMU, with a joint appointment in the Meadows School of the Arts and the Lyle School of Engineering.
