Leicester Processing Community Day
New Media Art Club is hosting a Processing Community Day meet up in Leicester for the Processing Foundation’s 25th Anniversary!
Processing is a friendly tool for learning to code and make art. P5 is its free and open-source JavaScript library built by an inclusive, nurturing community. It is for artists, designers, beginners, educators, and anyone else!
We will be recording/documenting the session in some way to share back with the global Processing Community.
We will meet in the Print Room 2pm-5pm at LCB Depot
P5 Book Club
Using the book Aesthetic Programming
https://aesthetic-programming.net/
as a starting point we will discuss the idea that digital technologies and even programming are not neutral and that building computer programmes can be critical and cultural practice.
The second part of the meetup will use the exercise in the book as a guided exercise to explore coding with P5.js a simple but powerful language made for artists.
P5 Gen Zine
From 4pm we’ll make zines with P5 Gen Zine https://github.com/munusshih/p5.genzine with physical crafty bits<3
As a bonus, at 5pm Last Friday Street Food event will open for dinner, Night Market, and performances!
For those interested we will be relaunching our P5 Book Club meet up to read the rest of the Aesthetic Programming book weekly. More info on the day or feel free to email: hi@newmediaart.club
