In this hands-on workshop, we'll combine human and computational expression, coding generative artworks with p5.js in partnership with Cursor's AI IDE.

Participants will explore the fundamentals of algorithmic thinking, pseudocode, and prompt engineering while experimenting with the creation of generative, interactive, browser-based art.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have developed an interactive, generative artwork and learned how Large Language Models (LLMs) can augment creative workflows from ideation to execution. There will also be an opportunity for a workshare in the 360 gallery at the end of the session.

No advanced coding skills required—just bring your imagination and readiness to experiment!
