Meeting 004

It’s been a while since there was a Processing Ghent meeting due to all kinds of reasons. The good news is that there will be a new one on 26 April 2012. The event will be FREE, just like the last time. If you want to participate in the workshop, you should bring your own laptop. It would be good if you can install Processing before coming down to the venue.

There are 40 places available for the talks and workshop. Book your free ticket by clicking the button below.

Talk

Robin Steyaert will present his master thesis project: Conflict and Failing Methods of Architecture.

Workshop

Frederik Vanhoutte will do a workshop about Object Oriented Programming. You’ll learn the basics of OOP in Processing. Frederik will use Bubble Chamber by Jared Tarbell, as a case study. The Bubble Chamber was created in 2003 with Processing 067, one of the early alpha versions of Processing. People starting out with Processing at that time learned a lot from Jared’s code. Make sure you check out his other work like Substrate and Intersection Aggregate on the Complexification website..

February 2012 Meeting Postponed

We have to postpone the February 2012 meeting since the three of us were selected to participate in the Generator.X 3.0 masterclass with Marius Watz at iMAL. We are playing with 3D printers and laser cutters this week in Brussels, so we don’t have the time to organize everything. If you want to see the results of our hard work, you can join us for the opening of the exhibition on Friday the 24th at iMAL. Or you can visit the exhibition during the weekend. You can find all the information you need on the website of iMAL.

See you this Friday!

Bert, Corneel and Jan

NY Drink

Happy New Year everyone. In January, there will be no regular Processing Ghent meeting, as DOK is closed. The next meeting will be held in February. So we decided to go for a drink in January. The normal meetings are usually packed with talks and workshops, so this one will be ideal to get to know each other a little better.

We’ll meet on Thursday, January 19th at 20.00h. Location is Vooruit, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 23, 9000 Gent. Let us know if you’ll be there by clicking the button below.

Meeting 003

For our third meeting we’ll have two talks and a workshop, just like the previous events. We also have a new location for the event, because it would be too cold to do the meeting in the hangar at DOK. The event will be FREE, just like the last time. If you want to participate in the workshop, you should bring your own laptop. It would be good if you can install Processing before coming down to the venue.

There are 40 places available for the talks and workshop. Book your free ticket by clicking the button below.

Talks

Julien Deswaef (@xuv) will talk about the application he made to generate images for the Written Images book.

Pieter Steyaert (@subtivsubtiv) will talk about The Creators, an audio-reactive multitouch installation he built with Constanza Casas and Mark C Mitchell. You can see more images from the project on Flickr.

Workshop

Jan Vantomme will teach the second Processing Basics workshop. We’ll pick up where we stopped last time and take a look at how we can use for-loops and write our own functions to draw things on the screen.

Talks

Jan Vantomme (@vormplus) will talk about colorLib, a library for Processing that enables you to use colors from Kuler, COLOURLovers and calculate gradients to use in your sketches.

Frederik Vanhoutte (@wblut) will talk about Hemesh, a 3D mesh library for Processing. You can use this library to create crazy 3D objects and export them for 3D printing.

Workshop

Bert Balcaen (@bertbalcaen) will do a workshop covering the basics of Processing, you’ll learn how to get started with generative design.

We want your feedback

We are planning future Processing Ghent meetings and we would like some feedback from you so we can plan lectures and workshops on the topics you love. This will only take a minute.

Meeting 001

We are happy to announce that the first Processing Ghent meeting will be on Thursday 7 July. Corneel Cannaerts (introspector) will talk about using code in his creative practice, and Jan Vantomme (vormplus) will give a workshop with some examples from the Processing Month he did in May. This event will be FREE.

If you want to participate in the workshop, you should bring your own laptop. It would be good if you can install Processing before coming down to the venue. It would also be good if you could let us know that you are coming and tell us about your experience with Processing (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced).

Processing Ghent

Paris and Berlin have their regular meetings for people who share an interest in Processing or creative coding in general, so Ghent should have its community too. Our plan is to get people together in Ghent to talk about creative coding, organize workshops, and drink a beer or two after the meeting to get to know each other.

We are currently planning our first meeting. We’ll let you know the where, when and what once we have figured everything out.

Processing Ghent is an initiative of Bert Balcaen, Corneel Cannaerts and Jan Vantomme.
