Many artists and designers use computers, yet only a few are skilled at
writing programs or other code.Is this a necessary, or a desirable
skill? Or could it actually be harmful? How creative can one be with
computers without a sophisticated ability to control the tools?

We would like to produce an issue based on practical experiences of
artists, designers, performers and educators who either write code, or
teach others to write code, for creative outcomes. We would also like to
include computer scientists and programmers who collaborate with
creative practitioners.

Shorter accounts (up to 2,500 words) that describe objectives,
technologies, techniques, etc. can be valuable. So too can be larger
articles (up to 5,000 words) that are reflective and attempt to make
more general insights.

All articles should be based upon some practical experience. Please use
imagery wherever this is integral to, or complementary to, your written
text.

Instructions for authors can be found
at: <http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/14626268.asp>.
