Tezos hosted a creative coding workshop at Trilitech London, showcasing generative art’s potential in the Web3 space, fostering innovation and collaboration among artists and developers.
The recent Creative Coding Workshop at the Trilitech London office highlighted the Tezos ecosystem’s commitment to exploring diverse creative mediums through generative art. This in-person event, held on November 15, brought together artists, developers, and enthusiasts to delve into the intersection of coding and artistry.
Where Art Meets Algorithms
Generative art, a unique blend of creativity and computation, was the focal point of the workshop. Ahmad Moussa, an educator from fx(hash), introduced participants to this innovative art form, demonstrating how algorithms can drive endless possibilities for artistic expression. Using the open-source JavaScript library p5.js, Moussa showcased how simple code can create stunning visual art, making generative art accessible to both novices and experts.
Hands-On Learning Experience
The workshop was designed to be interactive, allowing attendees to engage directly with the creative process. Through hands-on coding exercises, participants learned to transform code into dynamic artwork, gaining both the skills and confidence to explore generative art independently. The event emphasized practical learning, enabling attendees to create their own visual masterpieces.
A Vibrant Community of Innovators
The event attracted a diverse group of individuals, including artists, developers, educators, and Web3 enthusiasts, all eager to share ideas and inspiration.
