With the school year soon to go into full gear, I only have time for a short post on my recent workshop with Casey Reas at Anderson Ranch. Description from Casey is here:

For a more through description of the workshop, check out workshop classmate Simon Sarginson's post on Cyber Salon:

We had a fantastic group with a range of programming and fabrication skills. Everyone had something to offer. The week unfolded as follows:
- Monday: Processing intro with plotter + pen exercise
- Tuesday: Processing intro day 2 with plotter + vinyl exercise, laser cutter review
- Wednesday: CNC router review with blue foam exercise
- Thursday–Friday: Independent projects and crit
It was heavenly to be a student again, especially with Casey. He's extraordinary at working through ideas with code.

Many thanks to the funding from Anderson Ranch and Florida State University's Office of Research that allowed me to attend. Related international collaborations and exhibitions already brewing. Thanks, Casey! |
