This is a past event

Genetic Moo will run a creative coding workshop for 10 people for two days. Participants will learn basic coding techniques and how they can be used to make art.

Day One - Friday 29 January 2016

  • Will teach you how to write your own simple computer programs in the Processing language.
  • You will learn how to simulate slow life forms.
  • Your inspiration will be a coral reef with its cycles of behaviour and changes of pattern, shape and colour.
  • You will learn how to add simple sound into your programs using an audio library.
  • By the end of the workshop you will have developed your own generative art work.


Day two - 30 January 2016

  • All the programs will be projected onto a shared wall in a public gallery.
  • They will be framed by an interactive art work by Genetic Moo which will change in response to the outputs from the individual programs.
  • In this way, a living and unpredictable ecosystem will be created by all the participants.

This show will be free and open to the public for a couple of hours.

The participants will be required to bring:

a laptop (Windows or OSx)
