About ITERATIONS: Creative Coding Symposium
How do recent technological developments empower makers to generate new creative avenues? How is the creative coding landscape going to evolve in the coming few years? These questions will be explored during the creative coding symposium ITERATIONS. With a focus on inclusivity, we invited an international group of makers from different niches within the field to talk about their practice. In the form of presentations, interactive sessions, and workshops we will discuss four general themes: web tools, machine learning, world building, and creative education.
