This weekend intensive course is an opportunity for any skill level,

from beginners to those with previous (creative) coding experience. On

a practical level, artist & technologist Neil C Smith will lead you

through various free software tools for creative coding and working

with media. Focusing on the popular Processing environment inside

PraxisLIVE, we will explore graphics, video, audio, data

visualization, and working with sensors.

Alongside the tools you will also be encouraged to look at and think

about what you might create, looking at how other artists are working

with code. We will consider work using generative graphics,

interactive installations, audio-visual performances, and software

art; as well as how artists are engaging with the wider political and

social impacts of free (as-in-speech) software.

‘PraxisLIVE’ is a hybrid-visual live-coding system that will allow us

to cover both visual node based and text based approaches to creative

coding. Neil is the lead developer of PraxisLIVE, and regularly gives

talks and workshops on creative approaches in coding to both artists

and programmers.

Participants will need to bring their own laptop. All software used

will be free and cross-platform (Windows, macOS or Linux).
