'Art of Code' workshop to be held in Canton at St. Lawrence University with D.C. artist

Posted

CANTON -- St. Lawrence University’s Arts Collaborative will present a three-day workshop “The Art of Code” from March 30 to April 1 to be held in the Newell Center for Arts Technology located in Noble Center.

Led by visual Washington, D.C.-based artist Brandon Morse, the workshop is designed for the collaboration of computer science and visual art students to work together to create video installations using processing language.

Processing is an open source software language that is used in the context of visual arts. Computer science and studio art students have the opportunity to learn the basics of this programming language while working together to create a final visual projection of their work.

Morse is a professor of digital media arts in the Art Department at the University of Maryland. He utilizes processing as his main resource to create large video and video installation works. He has recently collaborated with the The Arlington Planetarium and has shown his work nationally and internationally.

The workshops will take place Thursday, March 30, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.; Friday, March 31, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.; and Saturday, April 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In addition to leading the workshop, Morse will deliver a talk from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, April 3, in Griffiths Arts Center, room 123.

While the Creative Coding for Art and Design Workshop is geared more toward students, it is free and open to the public, faculty and staff.

For those interested in signing up for the workshop, contact Sarah Knobel, assistant professor of art and art history, at 315-229-5166, or email sknobel@stlawu.edu.
