Tezos hosted a creative coding workshop at Trilitech London, showcasing the potential of generative art in the Web3 space, fostering innovation and collaboration between artists and developers.
The recent Creative Coding Workshop at Trilitech’s London office highlighted the Tezos ecosystem’s commitment to exploring diverse creative mediums through generative art. This in-person event, held on November 15, brought together artists, developers, and enthusiasts to delve deeper into the intersection of coding and artistry.
Where art meets algorithms
Generative art, a unique blend of creativity and calculation, was the focus of the workshop. Ahmad Moussa, an fx(hash) educator, introduced attendees to this innovative art form, demonstrating how algorithms can provide endless possibilities for artistic expression. Using the open source JavaScript library p5.js, Moussa showed how simple code can create stunning visual art, making generative art accessible to novices and experts alike.
Hands-on learning experience
The workshop was designed to be interactive, allowing participants to engage directly in the creative process. Through hands-on coding exercises, participants learned how to transform code into dynamic artwork, gaining the skills and confidence to explore generative art independently. The event emphasized hands-on learning, allowing participants to create their own visual masterpieces.
A vibrant community of innovators
The event attracted a diverse group of people, including artists, developers, educators, and Web3 enthusiasts, all eager to share ideas and inspiration. This diversity exemplifies the philosophy of the Tezos artistic community, which thrives on creativity, connection, and innovation. Participants left with not only new skills, but also valuable connections that could lead to future collaborations.
Tezos: the ideal platform for Web3 art
