Workshop: lantern coding

Join us for the next workshop in display!

With their shadow play, laterns are among the oldest displays in existence. In this workshop, artist and creative coder Rosi Grillmair invites you to play with light, colors, and code to create digital generative patterns.

Rosi will give an introduction to the creative coding environment vvvv and introduce you to two algorithms inspired by nature: Voronoi and Delaunay. Both imitate the growth of leaves and the arrangement of cells.
With the help of code, you can program your own mathematical pattern inspired by nature. We use a laser cutter to print them out—and then it's time to get crafting!

👋 For whom? People who want to creatively work with technology

Rosi Grillmair is an artist, programmer and art- and culture mediator based in her hometown Linz/Austria. In her work the freedom of interpretation plays an important role as well as explaining matters of art, language, culture and technology throughout engaging stories and interactive environments. Also ready-made objects and existing places become subjects of art by placing them into different contexts - creating and taking away meaning. Her media on the one hand is the digital and ephemeral - shaped by programming and visualization. On the other hand it is the capturing of moments in long-lasting, natural materials like stone, wood and fabrics. So in sum, virtuality and haptical experience (handicraft) come together throughout digital fabrication Rosi Grillmair´s works were shown at international art festivals and exhibitions. She is also a speaker on topics of AI and art, Maker-Culture and Creative Codeing. She is also part of several open-source communities.
