Description: Introduction to computer coding for complete beginners. Participants will learn the basics and core values of Javascript and be given the opportunity to create their own visual art works during a Code Visuals Hackathon. While the workshop is aimed at beginners, advanced coders are also welcome, with more detailed templates provided. The workshop will end with a discussion on the nature of software and the digital, and what it means for art.

Requirements: Participants need to bring a laptop on which they can
experiment with the code. Only a modern browser is required to be
installed. It is recommended, but not necessary, to install a text
editor suitable for code, such as VisualStudio Code, Emacs, Vim, Atom,
Sublime Text 2, Notepad++ or similar. No previous programming skills
required. More advanced hackathon templates will be available for those
with previous programming experience.
