A Computational Arts Journey

Join Nathan Gregg on a journey through computational art, a short personal history of his experience using code for art, and a brief workshop, hopefully inspiring you to use computing in your creative practice. Bring a laptop if you wish to join in, but it’s not required. Nathan Gregg accidentally made his own computer paint app — and now his art is weird.

Over the past few years, computer code has become an increasingly important part of Nathan’s art practice. That experimentation eventually grew into Journeypaint: a custom-built drawing app with its own quirks, limitations and visual language.

In this talk, Nathan will introduce some ideas from computational art, share a few projects that have influenced him, and look at how building his own tools has changed the way he makes work.

No programming experience is needed, and there will also be a chance to try Journeypaint for yourself.

Invitation to join in with your own laptop.
