Coding the visual way
Creative programming for Non-Coders Remember the video I posted of Pixels for the People? Well, the guy who did the amazing work behind it, Seb Lee-Delisle, believes that you have to see what you are doing. You need an immediate connection with what you are manipulating and the result: the programming and how it looks and…
Limited Language: rewriting design
Feedback Culture This book has put into words some of the thoughts I’ve been having, as well as how and what my conceptual framework for my MA project is. It addresses reflection on design practice, and touches on Relational Aesthetics, open-ended (and shared) experiences, micro-utopias and asks: what happens after humanising technology through design?

A&D&A

Pixels for the People
Pixels for the People What if the animation you create could be seen not only on your smart phone or tablet, but jump in real time to the screen next to you? What if the animation could inhabit and jump in all the screens in a room, at once? Seb Lee-Delisle (a creative coder, speaker and…
