Workshop Series | Hyphae with Alisa Blakeney
A free 5 day program exploring computation as creative practice.
This workshop introduces novice coders to basic programming concepts, algorithmic approaches to digital design and modelling, and strategies for employing these in artistic practice.
This is an opportunity for artists and anyone else with an interest in computational art to learn to write code and explore your practice in collaboration with other like-minded peers.
Open to anyone with a computer and curiosity. You will need to bring your own laptop. Dinner and all other materials are provided.
