£300, £240 concessions

Aimed at an intermediate level for people with prior programming knowledge, this course will teach key approaches & techniques for using code as a creative medium. Tutor Karsten Schmidt will cover topics of object oriented thinking, data visualization, simulation, geometry, digital fabrication, interaction design as well as generative approaches to form finding and will aim to produce one or more complete projects.

Karsten Schmidt (aka toxi) is an award-winning computational designer merging code, design, interaction, art & craft skills. He's been an early contributor to the Processing.org project, and with his studio PostSpectacular, he is actively exploring current possibilities at the intersection of design, art, software development and education and applying these in a variety of fields. He is a strong conceptual thinker and always striving for maximum creative freedom. When not creating, he travels the world consulting and teaching workshops about the generative design approach, open source and employing code as creative tool.
