DESCRIPTION: This workshop is an introduction to generative design and net.art through open source software. Reflecting around conversational programming, FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source), and transversal readings, we will explore the JavaScript library ‘p5.js’ writing algorithms that will bring life to our ideas.

This workshop is a space to explore and learn about generative design and net.art. Through the duration of the 21 hour workshop, we will code programs that can transform your web browser into a sketch. Through the sessions we will explore different approaches and techniques that will allow us to express ourselves creatively, writing algorithms as thoughts and celebrating transversal movements within an active re-creational approach.

**The workshop will be given in English and is accessible in Spanish.**
