Introduction to Creative Coding
Online Workshop
Past Event 26.02.2025

This one-hour free online taster session introduces artists, designers, creatives, and anyone interested in learning coding to the fundamental principles of JavaScript through the creative coding platform OpenProcessing.org.

Through hands-on activities interwoven with programming principles and technological history, you will experience a practice-led approach to creating visually striking, interactive, and dynamic digital experiences. At the same time, you will develop a deeper contextual understanding of the technological landscape of creative coding.

This approach enables you to engage with programming while overcoming any previous reservations, simultaneously expanding your awareness of the technological tools available to programmers and creatives today. This knowledge will help you make informed decisions about your future—whether pursuing a career in programming or integrating coding into your creative practice.

The full programme will explore a variety of programming languages and concepts, focusing on Experimental Web Development, Web3D, WebXR (AR & VR), AI, and Game Development. For those interested, further deep dives into each of these areas will be available later on.
