Code Word: Processing

The IML and iMAP program will join forces to present a three-part workshop series dedicated to Processing, a free, easy-to-use programming language that allows artists and designers with little background in coding to experiment with the programming of images, animation and interactivity. Created in 2001 by Casey Reas and Ben Fry, Processing has since spawned an explosion of moving image artworks and a community devoted to its use. Code Word: Processing explores the history and development of the Processing application with a presentation by Reas, and continues with a three-part series of workshops designed to allow USC students and faculty to explore Processing as a kind of “software sketchbook.” This event is part of USC’s Visions and Voices Arts and Humanities Initiative.
