Coding Expressive Digital Media with Processing
Interested in combining your creative potential and software technologies? This workshop introduces a simple programming open source language, Processing, that was created by an artist and now used by media artists, designers and programmers worldwide. This three days long workshop will teach you to the basics of Processing that will allow you to generate animation, create interactions, and export the results for web, print and mobile.
