Services 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’s 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

- ‘In-the-flesh’ presentation by London based live video performance artist or “pixelist” Evan Raskob a.k.a. PixelPusher - demonstrating his homemade software that generates video out of a controlled chaos of photographic images, simple shapes, animations, sounds, and live video feeds;
- Informal ‘show-and-tell’ and ‘open-laptop’ sessions (go on... bring some of your own work along).
InProcess:ing focuses on the Processing language, environment and community (though not exclusively) as a vehicle to support and encourage creative collaboration and meaningful exchange between a diverse group of practitioners, creatives and hobbyists. It aims to create a playful, experimental space and a supportive framework in which people can share their work, realise new technological ideas, be inspired, challenged and stretched.
- Join us at the next session to see Processing in action, meet other interested and like-minded people and find out more about the project and how to get involved;
- Visit the InProcess:ing website to catch up with developments and future plans, watch past presentations and follow up on interesting links;
- Join the forum and share your favourite Processing sketches, suggest practitioners/work for future presentations, offer useful techniques and online resources and tell us what you’d like to see from the project.
