Processing is one of the most popular coding tools created specifically for artists and designers, enabling users to quickly get creative with software processes. Designed to accommodate beginners as well as experts, Processing allows for the creation of interactive applications using realtime 3D graphics with the option of doing high-quality output for print and video. It also supports physical computing through microcontrollers like Arduino as well as more complex visual solutions like sound-responsive visuals and information visualization.

This four-day workshop will introduce the participants to Processing syntax and coding structures, going from the basics to more advanced concepts like object-oriented programming and using libraries to extend Processing’s core functions. Participants will receive a pre-prepared library of code examples demonstrating the topics covered in the workshop, and will have a chance to discuss how they might use Processing in their existing practice

Topics Covered:

• Real-time 3D
• Generative graphics
• Processing syntax
• Data structures
• Using objects to simplify code
• Exporting graphics for print and video
• More…

About the Instructor: Marius Watz is a true Processing veteran, having used it as a tool since 2004. His work has been shown internationally at venues like Victoria & Albert Museum, (London), ITAU Cultural (Sao Paulo), Künstlerhaus (Wien), DogA (Oslo) and Club Transmediale (Berlin). He is a lecturer at Oslo School of Architecture and Design, and shares his time between New York and Oslo (his home town).
