Creative Coding & Custom AI Tools
Registration opens August 1, 2026. Sign up here to get updates on the course!
This four-part series teaches you to use AI to create generative and interactive art. We’ll use netnet.studio, a custom open-source platform dedicated to reclaiming the web as a hand-crafted space for expression. While no prior coding experience is required, curiosity is essential and some familiarity is helpful. This workshop isn't about letting AI write for you, but about leveraging it to accelerate your learning and expand your creative possibilities. We'll incorporate AI as part of an experimental practice, ensuring this tech serves your vision rather than subconsciously dictating it. By the end, you will have built and published an interactive artwork that integrates AI both in its creation and as an integrated component of the work itself.
