Creative Coding
Creative code may sound like an oxymoron, but as in many technical processes in the art studio, creativity may emerge once rules are learned and then broken - Knochel & Patton

Creative Coding
• Goal is not the function
• Creative coding as a tool to critical
understanding of digital technologies
• Goes beyond common understanding of
coding: electronics, circuit bending,
glitching, hacking

INSPIRING:
• Doing together, Peer learning
• Freedom to experiment
• More embodied understanding, also lends to more critical understanding.
CHALLENGING:
- Getting the courage to try
- Not knowing where to start
- To find balance between instructing and giving space for experimentation
