A Brief Biography
The information that follows is a selection of lectures, workshops, events and writings that I have undertook during my time as a teacher of creative coding. You will find links to various webpages that may shed more light on these various projects.
Selected Workshops & Installations
Workshops have always been an important part of my teachings and often I get to work on installations too. 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
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.
