2011 Nabi Workshop Series 3 (Beginner Level)

New Media Programming Workshop

Art Center Nabi is hosting a programming workshop useful for producing media art with ‘{everyware},’ a creative computing group.
This is an open lecture that provides anyone with little or no experience with programming or new media the essential techniques that are currently being used in the field as well as an opportunity to apply these skills. Specialized background knowledge is not required and this program is organized in such a way that the student himself comes to apply the techniques he learned and get accustomed to basic programs through individual guidance of assistant instructors. Art Center Nabi hopes that this lecture will be an opportunity for designers and artists who wish to expand the horizons of their works and methods of communication by using new media.
