Selected Workshops & Pedagogy

Workshops have always been an important part of my teachings. Workshops are always oriented towards fixed objectives in which I try to get participants engaged in a particular technique or theme, all the while directing them towards personal expression and some final piece of work.

Selected Lectures & Talks

I've had the great opportunity to talk extensively about the role of generative and computational approaches in graphic design and art at large. Most of my talks refer to a variety of contemporary artists and designers as well as occasionaly digging into the past history of algorithmic art. It has equally been a great pleasure to organise events around creative coding and invite many talented speakers to share their precious knowledge.

Selected Writings & Publications

Some of my works have made the press and I have also dabbled in a few writings for notable magazines. Writing is a means for articulating the finer parts of what observation often leaves bare and visceral. It helps shape and sharpen one's intellect.
