“Coding By Hand” 💅 💅 💅

…or Design & Code & Interactions

Prof. Ian Besler,

Taking a critical perspective towards digital platforms and attention economies, this work explores time-based visual processes and motion design techniques… in a broader conceptual framework within contested histories of image processing and dissemination (📸 🖼️ 📹). The work-in-progress consists of flatbed scans of digital motion design and creative coding, running on ubiquitous mobile devices, created with entry-level, open-source software. The project seeks to problematize the rendering capacities of the Internet browser (with HTML5 and CSS3).

This hands-on, design workshop pedagogy supports experiential learning, with project-specific outcomes focused on critical engagement with professional software processes, and emphasis on professional practice design workflow and asset management.

Inspired by precedent including April Greiman, David Hockney, and Charles Gaines.
