Peter Kirn / PIXELS AND PICS: Etudes in Code, For Non-Coding Artist

Slides of the presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/peterkirn/etudes-in-code-with-processing

About Peter Kirn

Composer/visualist and writer PETER KIRN (NYC) used the free and open source tool Processing to create simple etudes in motion from photography. Using basic, minimal code as a means of expressing ideas in movement and texture, he presented textual programming as a basic form of creative thinking, even for those without much in the way of technical or programming backgrounds, code short enough to compose in an airport lounge. Peter is the editor of createdigitalmusic.com and createdigitalmotion.com, a digital artist and performer, a writer, and a teacher (of many young, non-coding designers) at Parsons The New School for Design.
