My essay "Learn to Code vs. Code to Learn: Creative Coding Beyond the Economic Imperative" is now available online > https://silviolorusso.com/publication/learn-to-code-vs-code-to-learn/
The essay was originally published in the book "Graphic Design in the Post-Digital Age", which includes 20+ interviews with amazing designers and creative coders such as @raphael

Looking forward to hosting situated computation researcher and designer Vernelle Noel for the second talk in the algorithmic pattern series.. Vernelle employs algorithms, patterns and maths to restore and reconfigure the wire-bending craft of Trinidad Carnival.
Proper algorithmic dance culture!

There’s a great team of student researchers working on our live coding avatars project and today one of them discovered machinima existed and it clearly made them so happy 💕

My new favorite student really isn’t a student. He’s never taken one of my classes and he’s actually a senior auditor. Basically a senior citizen who is allowed to audit university courses. He emails me all his work and then we sit on a bench and talk about art. He just loves art school so much more than the 20 year olds.
The temperature is going to be 100F here today. In Virginia. In May.
I have a large stock of popsicles and I ordered a pool to be delivered this morning but this is not good.
So many things happened in my dream last night but a big part was going door to door like a Mormon, but to tell people about performance art.

Stop making discords instead of wikis
Last nights dream I went to watch a PhD candidate’s performance and they were selling merch based on their thesis. Like mugs with keywords and T-shirts with quotes from their writing
As usual Eurovision has left me with more questions than answers.
Why is Australia competing? Why was Romania’s entry sung in Spanish? How did the UK come in 2nd?!!

Grades submitted. So glad to have a break from students until the fall.
Ideas for dances I probably will never make

covid
We have more covid cases in the dance dept right now then we did at any other point in the past two years. Moving finals to zoom as a precaution. Luckily I have never stopped masking.
