Design in Code is an introduction to Processing. It is a two day workshop designed for graphic designers and media artists who are interested in creating generative graphics and interaction through programming code. Processing is an open source programming language based on JAVA. In this workshop students will learn the basics of programming in Processing and start designing through computer logic.

Fader is a visual artist who works with multimedia in a variety of disciplines. From video mapping, generative animation, music videos, stage design to art installations, his work has been shown to broad audiences around the world. He has exhibited at numerous festivals such as Coachella (Indio), Burningman (Black Rock City), Insomniac Events (Los Angeles), Fuji Rock Festival (Japan) and the Mapping Festival (Geneva). He received a degree in Animation from the Art Center in Pasadena California and went on to teach himself how to write programing code for his audio/video performances. He founded the Neuromixer VJ software company in 2004 which features video software and innovative prototypes like faderTouch.
