About Processing
> In the past few years a new movement of designers and artists has emerged, who recognize the potential for using programming as their main tool of
expression, rather than as an obstacle to creativity. Their work builds on the realization that software is not a neutral tool, but rather shapes and constrains the work that is produced. The ideal for creatives working in digital media should be a new form of literacy, both "reading" (using) and "writing" (coding) software.

> Processing is a new tool developed for designers and artists to learn about
and experiment with computational form in a visual context. A simplified but powerful programming language built on top of Java allows easy sketching with software processes, while the simple user interface hides the complexities of setting up and compiling code.

> This workshop will give an introduction to computational design and generative art. We will use Processing to look at computational strategies for the creation of static, animated and interactive forms.
We will consider principles such as animation and composition, behavior and interaction. The focus will be on practical work, rather than theory. Each
participant will be allowed to progress according to his or her own level of expertise, with the goal being that everyone should produce a computational piece by the end of the 5-day workshop.

The workshop language will be English.

Schedule
11-15 October

> 11 October- Public Presentation on Processing and Principles of Computational Design/Generative Art – time to be confirmed (late afternoon)

> 12 to 15 October– Workshop from 10-17h, 1h lunch break.

> 15 October– Public presentation of the workshop results


Info Marius Watz
Marius Watz (NO / DE) works with the computational generation of form. His
signature style is a particular brand of visual hedonism, marked by organic
shapes and a "more is more" attitude. He lives in Berlin, where he teaches
Computational Design at the Universität der Künste.

Info Processing
www.processing.org
Processing is a project initiated by Ben Fry and Casey Reas.


Target
People interested in computational design and generative art. No prior knowledge of coding is necessary.


Price
210 Euros.


Pre-Application
The workshop has a maximum number of 16 participants. You will be contacted for a selection interview.


Place and Dates
The workshop will take place at Espaço Atmosferas, Rua da Boavista, 67 (continuation of Rua de São Paulo) in Lisbon, Portugal.

> Following this workshop, we decided to ask participants to develop a small processing piece to celebrate Christmas.
