Workshop

Drawing fractals with code

2020

This workshop taught learners how to draw fractals using code, focusing on dimensionality, self-similarity, and iterated function systems. Participants were expected to have basic programming knowledge and experience. The workshop covered topics such as Hausdorff dimension, spatial homogeneity, iterated function systems, and Mandelbrot and Julia sets. It was designed for those interested in mathematical visualization, creative coding, generative art, and patterns in nature.

Workshop

Design and Futures

2020

This workshop aimed to explore the intersection of design and futures through speculative and critical design practices. Participants were encouraged to reflect on the historical evolution of design as an agent of change and its role in producing social, economic, and ecological inequities. The workshop also examined how design can reconcile with rapidly evolving technology and complex challenges to remain relevant. Through conversations with digital, physical, and social materials, participants explored multiple paths of inquiry in the emerging complex contexts of technology and change. The workshop introduced critical technical practices and focused on innovation and change in the context of history and futures.

Exploration

Tangible Computing

2019 / Alongwith students

This advanced-level course focused on programming and working with IoT-based ideas, sensors, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. Students were encouraged to identify unique problems and develop their own ideas to solve them. The course also emphasized the use of tangible artifacts to demonstrate proof-of-concepts, providing hands-on experience and practical skills.

Making with Algorithms

2019 / Alongwith students

Recent technological developments in neural networks, computer vision and blockchains are radically transforming the digital landscape around us. Through this course, we explored the modern role of designer working with such technologies through the idea of algorithmic-driven design; and use algorithms as a material to design with.
