BUY TICKETS HERE! Another Build Your Own Superhero workshop using Processing and the Kinect camera! The last one was awesome. This should be even better!
I’ve recently been appointed as Computational Designer at Ravensbourne, which allows me to continue developing open source software for art and design and also teaching people how to make things using software (and programmable hardware).

This is a bit silly – been playing with Processing, getting into the deep geometric capabilities of toxiclibs and GLGraphics and Android.
