InProcess:ing and Madlab are pleased to welcome Evan Raskob – founder and organiser of Openlab Workshops – making art and music with open source/free software around London and the UK.

This condensed one-day version of the regular Openlab 5-evening course will be a relaxed but project-focused introduction to programing in Processing and interactive art and design in general. We will spend the bulk of the day on basic methods of working with code, general workflow and feeling your way around the Processing environment, along the way building some small projects and gaining inspiration from art, design and technologies such as Wii remotes, RFID, OSC, video and more. The material is flexible, based on the needs and wishes of the people attending.

Expect to learn and find out about:

• Introductory coding practice
• Where to find both help and inspiration
• Basic drawing to the screen
• Loops and time-based animation
• Using the mouse: built-in mouse methods and variables
• Using the keyboard: built-in keyboard methods and variables
• The possibility – time permitting – of working with images and/or video

UPDATE: We’re really pleased the workshop is fully subscribed – but do get in touch if you’ve missed out and are disapponted – info [at] cybersonica.net (a stand in contact address ’til the cybersonica.org mailserver gets sorted). We are hoping to run other Processing and related workshops in the future and we’d be keen to find out if there’s any interest.
