Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. The goal of the class will be to learn how to create custom brushes, designing first on paper, and thinking about the set of rules that can help us achieve our design. Over the course of the class, we will also explore topics such as randomness, movement, scenes, and interface design with control p5. We will be looking to finish a complete sketch that can be used as the start of a new project, a finished piece, or an element of a future performance.
Instructor:
Matthew Ortega is an artist, designer, and musician working at the intersection of art and technology. Though his current practice revolves around the poetic use of technology, he looks for ways to connect with his ideas about college and found footage derived from the remix culture of the 2000s. After learning how to program, he now explores the same topics of refuse, decay, and distortion through custom software and digital form. By building generative systems with individually designed “brushes”, he focuses on systematic design over that of any singular image.
