In a 2 weeks workshop, the students learned

programming from scratch, using ‘processing’.

They were given scripts to start from (chapter 02 -

spine distortion, generic script). Modifying these,

or developing their own programs, the students

worked on a ‘morphogenetic interference’.

Starting point is an ordered grid of regular

elements that is interfered by an input, i.e. the

mouse, another element or self organised ‘agents’.

The students worked in groups, developing

their own concepts and views on interference,

potential inputs and graphical representations

on the topic.

The results become highly complex,

unpredictable. Interesting effects that weren’t

foreseen - emergent effects - were analysed and

taken into account.
